 As a sort of public service announcement I would like to point out a problem

 It has this little snippet at the top:
 
  reporting
excludeDefaultstrue/excludeDefaults
outputDirectory/outputDirectory

 Notice that empty outputDirectory?  Well Maven 2.2.1 appears to ignore it.  
 Maven 3.0.3 however, deletes the entire tree.  The entire tree, including 
 your pom.xml and your /src directory.  Use with extreme caution.
 
 I opened this issue to track the documentation issue:
 
 http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-621
 
 I'm not sure if the maven-clean-plugin should prevent this sort of thing or 
 not (probably not).  But the docs should be updated for the next unaware 
 traveler. :)

Maven site documentation problem

Hello all,

As a sort of public service announcement I would like to point out a problem

Notice that empty outputDirectory?  Well Maven 2.2.1 appears to ignore it.  
Maven 3.0.3 however, deletes the entire tree.  The entire tree, including your 
pom.xml and your /src directory.  Use with extreme caution.
