> 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.
