I have been able to
        narrow down where the delete occurs during the build.  The build
        message in red is where
        the 'target' directory gets damaged. 
        
        I was even able to reduce, but not eliminate, the number of
        directories and files that get deleted.  Changing the goal from
        'test' to 'integration-test' reduced, but not eliminate,  the number of
        directories and files that get deleted under the 'target'
        directory.  
        
        Another interesting note.  There are fewer steps in the build
        when 'integration-test' is added as
        goal, which is counter intuitive.
