Assebly question about directories

[Mick Knutson <mi...@gmail.com>]

I have this descriptor in my ear-module/<DIR>

<assembly>
    <formats>
        <format>tar</format>
    </formats>
    <fileSets>
        <fileSet>
            <directory>${basedir}/target</directory>
            <outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
            <includes>
                <include>*.ear</include>
            </includes>
            <excludes>
                <exclude>xdocs/**</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </fileSet>
        <fileSet>
            <directory>${basedir}/../src/main/resources/configs</directory>
            <outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
            <!--<fileMode>1</fileMode>
            <directoryMode>0</directoryMode>-->
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.*</include>
            </includes>
            <excludes>
                <exclude>assembly-descriptor.xml</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </fileSet>
    </fileSets>
</assembly>


1st question: How can I have <outputDirectory></outputDirectory> put my ear
in the root directory as right now it puts it into /npi <DIR>

2nd Question: Is there a better way to reference the configs that live in my
../src/main/resources/configs <DIR> than
<directory>${basedir}/../src/main/resources/configs</directory>
???
