maven surefirereport -doutputdirectory not working

I tried adding this code to my pom.xml

<reporting>
<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.12.4</version>
    <configuration>
      <outputDirectory>D:/eclipse_ws/reports</outputDirectory>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.1</version>
    <configuration>
      <outputDirectory>D:/eclipse_ws/reports</outputDirectory>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

and executing this in windows command prompt

mvn surefire-report:report -DoutputDirectory=D:/eclipse_ws/reports

I am still getting the surefire-report.html report in the target/site/ folder itself. Is it possible to change the directory in the way I did? Did I make any mistake?

The configuring the output location for surefire report from report plugin doc seems to be indeed wrong.

I found on this doc page description of <xrefLocation> parameter of surefire-report:report goal, which refers to ${project.reporting.outputDirectory} value. I tried in my pom.xml and it worked:

<reporting>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0-M1</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
    <outputDirectory>${basedir}/new-reports-dir</outputDirectory>
</reporting>

The official documentation suggests that the configuration similar to OP's should work, but it doesn't.

What worked for me is:

<project>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.18.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <reportsDirectory>C:/eclipse_ws/reports</reportsDirectory>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

A relative path works as well. Also you don't need to specify the directory as a command line parameter because you already did it in the configuration.
