> @michael-o, the way I understand it, the description applies to what I call the _base_ directory, i.e. the `${project.reporting.outputDirectory}` in case of site generation. AFAIR, that one can also be adjusted, if a user wants to change it. In case of stand-alone execution, the default base directory should be `${project.build.directory}` so as not to interfere with the site base directory. That is the whole point of this PR. > > The description IMO says nothing whatsoever about the plugin-specific report output directory, e.g. `apidocs` or `surefire-reports`. Those are inside the base directories and there is no reason for them not to be adjustable too. > > Of course, `outputDirectory` is only relevant for stand-alone execution, because otherwise Maven Site determines the base directory. Actually, I see nothing in that text contradicting with what I suggested. You completely misunderstood what I was trying to say. I was solely refering to the fact that this `@Parameter` is read-only, but some don't say that the user can change its value during standalone execution which is not correct. Personally. I do not know wether it makes sense to make this shared output dir for **standalone** execution configurable. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
