Jason,

Thanks, I have read through those documents but it still not clear to me
how the build directory should be expressed as 
a variable.

I thought it would be:

${pom.build.directory}

but this doesn't seem to work.

Michael

<project>
    <build>
    <directory></directory>

Anything in the POM itself:

http://maven.apache.org/maven-model/maven.html

You can take a look at this:

http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html

Which shows the Super POM which has most of the build elements that you
might want to use.

Close but no cigar :-)

${pom.build.directory}
