Description

When I pass the -Dmaven.dist.bin.archive.dir I still get the distributions in the project's target directory. I've tried several times with different directories on windows and unix, for example on windows:

maven -Dmaven.dist.bin.archive.dir=/temp dist:build-bin
maven -Dmaven.dist.bin.archive.dir=d:/temp dist:build-bin
maven -Dmaven.dist.bin.archive.dir=d:\temp\ dist:build-bin

and on unix:

maven -Dmaven.dist.bin.archive.dir=~/tmp dist:build-bin

produces an error that the directory doesn't exist and if I use the full path then it completes but the archives are all under the project's target directory.

I'm not sure I understand your point. maven.dist.bin.archive.dir is the directory where the binary archive is constructed from, but Maven will always put all its output into the target directory.

I'm using m2 now so I can't reproduce it. Since no one else is following it, let's close it.
