> <assembly>
> <id>dist</id>
> <formats>
> <format>zip</format>
> </formats>
> <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
> <fileSets>
> <!-- copy a directory named dir1 having a conf.properties files -->
> <fileSet>
> <directory>dir1</directory>
> <outputDirectory>release</outputDirectory>
> </fileSet>
> <!-- copy another directory named dir2 having a conf.properties files
> -->
> <fileSet>
> <directory>dir2</directory>
> <outputDirectory>release</outputDirectory>
> <overwrite>true</overwrite>
> </fileSet>
