[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-19?page=comments#action_77192 ] Ian Springer commented on MCLEAN-19: ------------------------------------
Note, after some more thought, I think it makes sense for the 'outputDirectory' prop to remain read-only, to force all plugins to share the same output directory (i.e. project.build.outputDirectory). So I think the better way to support my use case is for Maven to allow profiles to override project.build.outputDirectory. I have filed another issue for this (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2598), so feel free to close this issue.
