Netbeans Maven项目：JavaDoc输出文件夹

Question

I'm trying to change the JavaDoc output folder of a Maven project I'm developing in Netbeans.

So far I've been able to change it going to Project Properties > Actions , choosing the actions Generate JavaDoc and then setting the property destDir .

However, the problem is that the folder structure I'd like to have is this:

Root
 '-MavenProject
 '-Javadoc files

So I try to set the destDir like this:

destDir=${project.build.directory}/../../javadoc

but it does not work. Looks like the problem is in using .. to refer to the previous folder, it does not work at all. If I use something like

destDir=${project.build.directory}/javadoc

it works properly, but it's not what I'm looking for.

Any clues?

The workaround is to let Maven generate Javadocs in its natural build directory, then copy the result with the maven-antrun-plugin . It understands /../../ . Of course, you have to have ant installed on you pc...
