project.build.directory should be settable by default
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4733
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4733
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Apache or Maven Parent poms
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Reporter: Joseph Walton
Priority: Minor
Attachments: target-dir.diff
I'd like to be able to use a different target directory for projects without
having to edit their poms directly. I can set project.build.directory in my
parent pom but would also like to be able to make the change when building
third-party projects.
I have two use cases.
1. A temporary build that doesn't affect the target directories used by Eclipse
e.g. mvn -Dtarget.dir=target.tmp test
2. A complete build outside the source tree of a multi-module project
e.g. mvn -Dtarget.dir=/tmp/build/\${project.artifactId} test
I attach a simple patch to the superpom that allows this.
