Hi, Thank you for your mails. I still think maven plugin documentations are poorly designed, what I highlighted could indeed be considered defect in the documentation.
So i would suggest to make appropriate issue in JIRA either with patches attached or related pull request (via githup) or at least write in the issues what and how to improve this...
Apache Maven is an open source project ...any help is appreciated... Kind regards Karl Heinz Marbaise

Default value is: ${project.build.outputDirectory}. Yes the maven-resources-plugin defines it and it means you can change it via the pom configuration for the goal: resources *compiler:compile* plugin goal uses it as well (I guess), but it is nowhere defined in the documentation of that plugin. In the documentation you mean that you can use it as a configuration entry in the pom ? And yes this it is correct, cause it wouldn't make sense to change it...(which is also true for the maven-resources-plugin) but at the moment it is as it is...This might change for 3.0.0 of maven-resources-plugin... And the other thing it is defined for the compiler-plugin as you can see here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-compiler-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/compiler/CompilerMojo.java?revision=1517906&view=markup#l65 > Why is that ? is it a lack in the specification or what ? am I missing something ?
