Herve Boutemy commented on MJAVADOC-378:
----------------------------------------
IIRC, outputDirectory is used when m-javadoc-p is used as mojo, not report
I understand this is confusing, but when you're using a report as a mojo
(shared implementation in maven-reporting-impl), you don't have site's
reporting output directory
any idea welcome
> Confusing param 'outputDirectory' for javadoc goal
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MJAVADOC-378
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-378
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.9.1
> Environment: n/a
> Reporter: Anders Hammar
> Priority: Minor
>
> The param 'outputDirectory' seems to be misleading. Does it serve a purpose?
> Reading the docs at:
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/examples/output-configuration.html
> the params to use to change where the javadoc should be generated is
> 'reportOutputDirectory' and 'destDir', not 'outputDirectory'.
> Also, very confusingly, the user property 'destDir' is used for both the
> 'destDir' and the 'outputDirectory' params. Which can't be right as 'destDir'
> should be relative to 'reportingOutputDirectory'.
> All is very confusing. 'outputDirectory' doesn't seems to be used as it's
> default value is not where the javadoc is generated.
