Summary0012590: request feature for more flexible jar output location and better support of cmake global variables in UseJava.cmake
DescriptionI was unable to move the created jar to some global location where I gather all the libraries in my project.
After examination by David Cole and Ben Boeckel I was told to send a feature request so here it is.
Steps To Reproduceset(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY /path/to/outputs)
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY /path/to/outputs)
set(CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY /path/to/outputs)
add_jar(some_jar ${some_jar_sources})
some_jar.jar will be in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} while it should be in /path/to/outputs

Is this really a bug? The jar output location can be set with

set(CMAKE_JAVA_TARGET_OUTPUT_DIR <dir>)

It's not obvious that you would want any of the library, runtime or archive directories to also set the jar output directory.
