'outputDirectory' configuration property should not be read-only
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MCLEAN-19
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-19
             Project: Maven 2.x Clean Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.1
            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 set the outputDirectory config prop in the maven-clean-plugin, the 
maven-compiler-plugin, and the maven-resources-plugin. The 
maven-resources-plugin allowed me to modify the outputDirectory without any 
complaints, but the maven-clean-plugin and maven-compiler-plugin did not... The 
clean plugin fails with the following error:

[INFO] Error configuring: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin. Reason: 
ERROR: Cannot override read-only parameter: outputDirectory in goal: clean:clean

Please make this property non-read-only. Making it read-only seriously limits 
the flexibility of Maven2.

Thanks,
Ian
