>             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)

> 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.
