SpotBugs not generating HTML report in the target directory

[thenocturnalguy]

I am trying to generate Spotbugs HTML report under target/reports directory but the report is getting generated under target directory.
Here's my configuration in POM.xml

<plugin>
          <groupId>com.github.spotbugs</groupId>
          <artifactId>spotbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>4.8.2.0</version>
          <configuration>
	          <includeFilterFile>spotbugs-security-include.xml</includeFilterFile>
	          <excludeFilterFile>spotbugs-security-exclude.xml</excludeFilterFile>
	          <plugins>
		          <plugin>
			          <groupId>com.h3xstream.findsecbugs</groupId>
			          <artifactId>findsecbugs-plugin</artifactId>
			          <version>1.12.0</version>
		          </plugin>
	          </plugins>
	          <htmlOutput>true</htmlOutput>
	          <xmlOutputDirectory>target/reports</xmlOutputDirectory>
	          <htmlOutputDirectory>target/reports</htmlOutputDirectory>
	          <xmlOutputDirectory>target/reports</xmlOutputDirectory>
          </configuration>
          <executions>
	          <execution>
          
		          <goals>
			          <goal>check</goal>
		          </goals>
	          </execution>
          </executions>
 </plugin>

Not sure whether it is a bug or I am missing something.

Noticed you have 'XmlOutputDirectory' twice, did you mean on second one to have 'spotbugsXmlOutputDirectory'?
