Option to force database rebuild

[awhitford]

I recently ran into a problem where the local database was corrupted... (I don't know how that happened, but...) I had to manually drop the dependency-check-data folder and then re-initiate a check (or call update-only).

It would be great if there was a goal like drop or purge that would reset the local database.

Alternatively, an option that automatically dropped/purged upon hitting a database connection problem could be useful to add to the check and aggregate goals. (Obviously this only makes sense if the local h2 database is used.)

This has been committed to the 1.3.1-SNAPSHOT and will be included in the next release.

Thanks for the quick turnaround.

I noticed that you added a purge for the dc.h2.db file. When I had the problem, I noticed that there was another small file (dc.trace.db). I ended up wiping the whole data directory.

Do you happen to know if that other file should be purged too?
