Paul Gier commented on MNG-2598:
--------------------------------
Until this is fixed, a workaround for this is to use a property to specify the
output directories, and then configure the property with profiles.
So the output directory would contain something like
{code:xml}
<outputDirectory>${build.outputDir}</outputDirectory>
{code}
A default profile could set build.outputDir to the standard "target/classes".
And the dev profile would set the build.outputDir property to the path you want.
> profile element in POM should support overriding project.build.directory

> Key: MNG-2598
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2598
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Profiles
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Reporter: Ian Springer
> Fix For: 2.x

>
> I am trying to set up a 'dev' build profile that, when enabled, will cause my
> j2ee artifacts to be built directly to exploded j2ee deployment dirs, instead
> of target/classes/. The purpose is to make the everyday development process
> more efficient by skipping a number of time-consuming intermediate mvn steps
> (i.e. jarring artifacts, copying the jars to the local repo, then unjarring
> the artifacts to their deploy locations).
> The intuitive way to achieve this is to override 'project.build.directory'
> and/or 'project.build.outputDirectory' in a profile; e.g.:
> <profile>
> ...
> <build>
>
> <outputDirectory>${jboss.home}/server/default/deploy/my.ear/my-exploded-ejb.jar
> </build>
> ...
> </profile>
> Unfortunately, profiles currently do not allow one to override either
> 'project.build.directory' or 'project.build.outputDirectory'. Please change
> Maven to allow profiles to override these props. Otherwise, I can't see any
> other way to achieve what my team needs to do to have a practical build/dev
> infrastructure.
> Thanks,
> Ian
