The assembly plugin by default saves the packages to your project.build.directory folder or

<project>
 ...
 <build>
   <directory>path-here</directory
   ...
 </build>
 ...
</project


You can have assembly plugin use a different setting by setting the plugin parameter <outputDirectory> to your desired directory


More info about the assembly plugin can be found here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/introduction.html

How can I set the base directory from which the zip file should be created when 
using the assembly plugin?

My descriptor looks like:

<assembly>
   <formats>
       <format>zip</format>
   </formats>
   <fileSets>
       <fileSet>
           <directory>target/mhave</directory>
           <excludes>
               <exclude>xdocs/**</exclude>
           </excludes>
       </fileSet>
   </fileSets>
</assembly>

My plugin config looks like:

               <!-- maven-assembly-plugin -->
               <plugin>
                   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                   <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
                   <configuration>
                       <descriptors>
                           
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/mhave-commons-assembly.xml</descriptor>
                       </descriptors>
                       <workDirectory>target/assembly/work</workDirectory>
                       <outputDirectory>target/releases/</outputDirectory>
                   </configuration>
               </plugin>

           </plugins>

I want to use "target/mhave" as base directory for the zip archive.
