How can I tell maven where I want the compiled code to go?

Question

Typically all compiled classes go to the target directory. I have a project that wants the compiled classes in a different path. How can I tell Maven to put the compiled classes in a different directory?

Note that changing the standard values should be avoided if possible. It will confuse people. — J Fabian Meier, Jan 26 '21 at 19:08
Why does a project needs to be compiled somewhere else? For what purpose? — khmarbaise, Jan 26 '21 at 19:48
I have no idea why you would want to have a different directory. This is a 3rd parties source code. — Dale, Jan 28 '21 at 13:49

Set this in pom.xml

<build>
    <directory>/path/to/directory</directory>
</build>
