------------------------------------

I forgot to mention that the directories disappear when you run {{mvn clean}}

>                 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

> 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.
