Support writing all generated output to a different filesystem base to that of the project files (i.e. all non generated files)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-2086
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2086
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Improvement

    Reporter: John Allen


It is a useful and powerful feature for a build system to support using a different base directory for all generated output. This enables the project source (pom et al) to be accessed from read-only or networked location and for all generated output to be written to a local filesystem location. 

Currently maven will write all generated output locations relative to the project and although this can be ovverriden via build-directory on a per project basis (ignoring the outstanding JIRA re this not working) it would be better if maven could be given a new output directory root for all generated output and have it replicate the project structure as required...

E.g.:

\mnt\dev\projects\A
\mnt\dev\projects\A\src\...
\mnt\dev\projects\A\B
\mnt\dev\projects\A\B\src\...

maven.build-root = \home\developer\dev

Results in:

\home\developer\dev\projects\A
\home\developer\dev\projects\A\target\...
\home\developer\dev\projects\A\B
\home\developer\dev\projects\A\B\target\...
