empty outputDirectory causes mvn clean to delete whole tree
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-621
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-621
Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 3.0
Environment: Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 11:31:09-0600)
Maven home: D:\maven\apache-maven-3.0.3\bin\..
Java version: 1.6.0_24, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
Java home: D:\j2sdk1.6.0_24\jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows"
Reporter: Jim McCaskey
On this page:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/maven-3.html#Old_configuration_Maven_2__3
There is this little code snippet:
{code}
<reporting>
<excludeDefaults>true</excludeDefaults>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<plugins>
{code}
Notice the empty outputDirectory property? Well, in Maven 2.2.1 that appears to
be ignored. In Maven 3.0.3 however, it deletes the entire project! The
documentation for this should be changed as soon as possible. We lost a bit of
work because of this.
