The advantage being Maven would be able to service the requirement for one group's choice of "target" and another group's use of "build" for the name of the result tree without the need to instrument a directory rename or dir copy goal.
Do I really care that much if all classes are output to "target/"? Personally it does not matter which to me. Would like to be able to accommodate a different name be it "build", "target", "diskimage", "bin", "cible" or "Ziel". My interest is in the flexibility to accomodate such changes. Given the bandwith and any level of confidence in my jelly skillset I would volunteer to contribute. -----Original Message----- From: Jason van Zyl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 11:47 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: RE: How set maven.build.dest in project.xml ?
