> I'd like to be able to use a different target directory for projects without having to edit their poms directly. I can set project.build.directory in my parent pom but would also like to be able to make the change when building third-party projects.
> I have two use cases.
> 1. A temporary build that doesn't affect the target directories used by Eclipse
> e.g. mvn -Dtarget.dir=target.tmp test
> 2. A complete build outside the source tree of a multi-module project
> e.g. mvn -Dtarget.dir=/tmp/build/\${project.artifactId} test
> I attach a simple patch to the superpom that allows this.
