Use alternate name for Maven "target"

When I build my Spring Boot application using ./mvnw install, it creates a folder named "target" that contains the output of the build.

I would prefer for that folder to be hidden on Linux (for example using the name ".target").

Is there a way to specify an alternate name for the Maven "target" folder?

The target folder is very important, ¿why you want to rename it? If isn't really necessary, in think that you shouldn't rename it.

I found 2 related posts (this and this). If it helpt to you, only add to your pom:

<build>
<directory>/yourDirectory/.target</directory>
</build>

You can put it into a profile too. Hope it has been helpful.
