Try filling in a bit more in your xml file.
Also use the information at
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/usage.html and go down
to the example below the heading "Normal Assemblies" to see how the pom
should look.
Your <fileset> parts should look like this:
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/properties/development</directory>
<outputDirectory>dev</outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*.properties</include>
<include>*.xml</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
<directory> is where in your maven project you are getting the files. If you
put a dot only, it will use the ${basedir} the same folder where you
normally put your pom.
<outputDirectory> defines a folder in the generated zip, tar.gz, etc.
And you need the includes to specify some files that go into the generated
archive. You may want some excludes to tell it to get all but some files.
