How to override "src/site" for site doc inputs?

[Dan Rollo <da...@gmail.com>]

Does anybody know of a good place to put some free-form documentation 
files in the maven project/pom.xml?

I know the default location appears to be "src/site", but I overrode the 
default source location when creating our pom.xml (to minimize changes) 
to be "src". Therefore, stuffing docs into the actual source code tree 
would be confusing (at best).

I couldn't see where to configure an override for the site input in a 
pom.xml.

Our project pom overrides are:

...
     <build>
         <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory>
         ...
         <testSourceDirectory>test</testSourceDirectory>
...


Thanks,
Dan

Simply enough,

...
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <siteDirectory>site</siteDirectory>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
...

I doubt, however, that this is really what you're looking for. At risk 
of stating the obvious, you will be much happier in the long run if you 
can transition to the standard directory structure. By taking a 
half-and-half approach, you will most likely feel equivalent pain again 
when you decide you really should accept Maven's opinionated ways.
