Description

Due to its complex nature this plugin has never used AbstractMavenReport, thus not its behavior as well. This causes inconsistencies compared with our other plugins in configuration and runtime behavior. After MSHARED-1327 this plugin will be logically aligned with maven-reporting-impl to mimic the behavior to the extent necessary from AbstractMavenReport.

This change the following parameters:

• outputDirectory uses the semantics from AbstractMavenReport and is not exlusive anymore
• destDir is gone and folded into outputDirectory
• reportOutputDirectory/reportTestOutputDirectory is gone and is private according to AbstractMavenReport, it will be calculated at runtime
