Assebly question about directories

[Mick Knutson]

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>
???
