To run the clean plugin automatically during the build in Apache Maven, you can add the clean plugin execution as a part of your project's lifecycle. For example:

```xml
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>clean-all</id>
<phase>clean</phase>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
```

What are the different ways to convert an inputstream to a sting?
