Dangerous behaivor when removing all content in the target directory

[maol74]

When running

lazybones create

it removes all content in target directory which is really dangerous (if you by accident run it again when you have added a lot of more code to the project). Would be nice, and less error prone, to just overwrite or even better get a confirm prompt for each overwrite.

Thanks for the report, although I can't immediately see from the code where this is happening. The unzipping certainly does overwrite any files that already exist, basically on the assumption that you're always creating a new project from a template. Is that the specific issue you're seeing? Or does lazybones create ... actually delete all content from the target directory?

Thanks for the answer: It removed all directories, or as it seems, only if there are any directories that the new templates doesn´t also have. You can easy reproduce this by running:

1. Run: lazybones create afterburnerfx afp
2. Hit return on all default values
3. Run: ls afp/src/main/java/org/example/ # shows all the newly created content
4. Run: touch afp/src/main/java/org/example/MyClass.java # to create a new content
5. Run: lazybones create afterburnerfx afp
6. Hit return on all EXCEPT package, enter for example short package 'examples'
7. Then, everything under afp/src/main/java/org/\ is wiped

I followed these instructions but couldn't reproduce the issue with either v0.7 or 0.8.1. What version are you using? And which platform? Perhaps it's platform-specific for some reason.

It's is not a problem with lazybones. But the afterburnfx template moves everything under src/main/java to the specified package appending the projectname to each file. Including the old package from the previous create.

After the second create with example as package:
