Description

For the following assembly.xml:

<assembly>
    <formats>
        <format>tar.gz</format>
    </formats>
    <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
    <fileSets>
        <fileSet>
            <directory>src/main/resources/appcontent</directory>
            <outputDirectory>${build.environment}/${build.view}/appcontent</outputDirectory>
            <includes>
                <include>**</include>
            </includes>
        </fileSet>
    </fileSets>
</assembly>

${build.environment} and ${build.view} are declared as <properties> in parent POM. They retain their 'default' value and cannot be overridden from the command line using the -D (-Dbuild.environment=UAT) syntax.

The intent of the properties is to build the tar.gz file with different paths based on the two variables.
