---------------------------------------
Summary: Make the 'apidocs' output directory changeable
Key: MJAVADOC-818
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-818
Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 3.10.1
Environment: Apache Maven 3.9.9
(8e8579a9e76f7d015ee5ec7bfcdc97d260186937)
Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.9.9/libexec
Java version: 21.0.4, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-21.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_GB, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "15.0.1", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
Reporter: Marco Brandizi
I've just switched to the Javadoc plug-in 3.10.1 and I see that I can still set
my outputDirectory, but the 'apidocs/' tail is always added to whatever path I
define with this option. Same for reportOutputDirectory. Eg, if I say
outputDirectory = target/javadoc, it creates target/javadoc/apidocs/*, not
target/javadoc/*
Before, I was using 3.6.2 and I could do this:
{\{In the POM}}
{{<destDir>javadoc</destDir>}}
And then:
{{mvn javadoc:javadoc -DreportOutputDirectory=doc}}
With the result that the javadocs/* were created into <project home>/javadoc/*.
Now I can see that the string "apidocs" is hardcoded in the plug-in source, so
I guess there is no way to change it, it's only possible to relocate it. I
would like to be able to change it, mostly because a Java library is not the
same as an API.
