> build.log file location causes problems
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: MINVOKER-190
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINVOKER-190
> Project: Maven Invoker Plugin (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
> Labels: up-for-grabs
> Fix For: 3.2.0
>
>
> The {{build.log}} file is quite annoying because it is placed in the invoked
> project's source tree by default. It is not configurable, except to disable
> it entirely with the {{noLog}} option.
> This causes issues, such as what is identified in RAT-160, where certain
> plugins behave in unexpectedly bad ways when it appears in the invoked
> project's root.
> Ideally, I'd love for the {{build.log}} file to be created outside of the
> invoked project's source tree entirely. The most sensible, I think, is in the
> invoking project's target/ directory, named uniquely for that invocation.
> Another option is in the invoked project's target directory (which may not
> otherwise exist, so this may not be suitable). A third option is to make the
> location completely configurable, and leave it up to the user to decide where
> it goes.
> The important thing to remember is that not every plugin on an executed
> project can be configured to ignore this file, so it definitely shouldn't be
> created in the invoked project's root by default when there isn't an option
> to put it elsewhere.
