Description

There is a valid reason to allow the overriding of the general output in various UIs.  This change will move that functionality from Maven to core.

There will need to be a change to the ReportConfiguration to determine if the output has already been set.  A method should be added that allows the UIs to specify the output if none has been set so a method to set the output if not set would be advisable.

This will involve deprecation of the console output parameter in the Maven module and information for how to achieve the same results using the command line.
