[jira] Commented: (MPMD-61) When running build using "-f /pom.xml" the site is stored in working directory instead of project directory

Dennis Lundberg commented on MPMD-61:
-------------------------------------

I can confirm this behavior.

When looking at the code I found this:
{code:title=AbstractPmdReport.java}
    /**
     * The output directory for the intermediate XML report.
     *
     * @parameter expression="${project.build.directory}"
     * @required
     */
    protected File targetDirectory;

    /**
     * The output directory for the final HTML report.
     *
     * @parameter expression="${project.reporting.outputDirectory}"
     * @required
     */
    protected String outputDirectory;
{code}

The intermediate xml file is in the root/child/target directory, but the final report is in the working directory's target directory. I don't think that the cause of this problem lies within the pmd-plugin.

>          Issue Type: Bug

>    Affects Versions: 2.2
>         Environment: Windows XP, Java 1.5, Maven 2.0.7

> I setup a multi-module build and included the pmd check goal to run during the verify phase.  When I execute a build from the top level directory specifying -f <path>/pom.xml, the plugin creates a target/site/... directory in the current working directory.  This directory should be in the project directory and now fails to clean.
> I have attached a sample project.  To reproduce :
> cd pmd-multi-module
> mvn -f ./root/pom.xml install
> Note that after the build there is a target directory in the current working directory with the pmd.html and other files within it.
