Michael Osipov commented on MJAVADOC-818:
-----------------------------------------
What you can do, if you are runing with Maven Site Plugin is to run Maven
Antrun Plugin and move the dir in the {{post-site}} phase.
> Make the 'apidocs' output directory changeable

> Key: MJAVADOC-818
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-818
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.10.1
> Environment: Apache Maven 3.9.9
> (8e8579a9e76f7d015ee5ec7bfcdc97d260186937)
> Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.9.9/libexec
> Java version: 21.0.4, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime:
> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-21.jdk/Contents/Home
> Default locale: en_GB, platform encoding: UTF-8
> OS name: "mac os x", version: "15.0.1", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
> Reporter: Marco Brandizi
> Priority: Major
>
> I've just switched to the Javadoc plug-in 3.10.1 and I see that I can still
> set my outputDirectory, but the 'apidocs/' tail is always added to whatever
> path I define with this option. Same for reportOutputDirectory. Eg, if I say
> outputDirectory = target/javadoc, it creates target/javadoc/apidocs/*,
> not target/javadoc/*
> Before, I was using 3.6.2 and I could do this:
> {\{In the POM}}
> {{<destDir>javadoc</destDir>}}
> And then:
> {{mvn javadoc:javadoc -DreportOutputDirectory=doc}}
> With the result that the javadocs/* were created into <project
> home>/javadoc/*.
> Now I can see that the string "apidocs" is hardcoded in the plug-in source,
> so I guess there is no way to change it, it's only possible to relocate it. I
> would like to be able to change it, mostly because a Java library is not the
> same as an API.
