This might work:
1. Make up a name for a property, like assemblyOutputDirectory, or
carrots.are.orange (it doesn't matter what the name is, technically).
2. Configure the assembly plugin (in your pom.xml) to use the value of
this property as the outputDirectory.
blah, blah, xml, blah...
There are lots of cases where the plugin will not allow you to
override plugin configuration from command line via -D setting.

from that link outputDirectory is set to ${project.build.directory} which is
a element of the PO
Hi,
I have been trying to configure the parameters for the assembly plugin and have
not been able to set the outputDirectory parameter when running from the
command line
% mvn -DoutputDirectory=
I believe that the determination of the value to use is handled by
PluginParameterExpressionEv
