'outputDirectory' configuration property should not be read-only ----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MCOMPILER-44 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-44 Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.1 Reporter: Ian Springer I am trying to set up a 'dev' build profile that, when enabled, will cause my artifacts to be built directly to an exploded ejb-jar deployment dir, instead of target/classes/. The purpose is to make the development process more efficient by skipping a number of time-consuming intermediate mvn steps (i.e. jarring the artifact, copying the jar to the local repo, unjarring the artifact to its deploy/test location). Since profiles do not allow you to override project.build.outputDirectory, I proceeded to override the outputDirectory config props in the maven-clean-plugin, the maven-compiler-plugin, and the maven-resources-plugin. The maven-clean-plugin and the maven-resources-plugin allow me to modify the outputDirectory without any complaints, but the maven-compiler-plugin does not... It fails with the following error: [INFO] Error configuring: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin. Reason: ERROR: Cannot override read-only parameter: outputDirectory in goal: compiler:compile Please make this property non-read-only. Making it read-only seriously limits the flexibility of Maven2.
