You should set *outputDirectory*, if you're going to generate stand alone
reports:
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/javadoc-mojo.html#outputDirectory
... place my generated documents into ${project.basedir}/docs
When you say you want to put them in the /docs directory, is that because
you want GitHub Pages to serve them? If so, there are easier ways that
don't involve cluttering your source with generated docs, like letting
Maven generate a site *including javadoc*, and letting it deploy it to a
gh-pages branch.
