To change the location of the generated output report along with other project reports the outputDirectory property of both the maven-site-plugin and maven-surefire-report-plugin should be set to the desired alternative location. For more information, see the documentation of the Maven Site Plugin.
<project> [...] <reporting> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.18.1</version> <configuration> <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/newsite</outputDirectory> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> <configuration> <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/newsite</outputDirectory> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> [...] </project>
Please take note that if the outputDirectory of the Site Plugin is not configured, the output location of the Surefire report will still be the default.
