Shortcut to unpack an assembly and copy it to a given folder? - maven

Question

I have a fairly simple Maven assembly which I'd like to deploy to a folder on the filesystem. I could definitely just chain my Maven build with an extraction command, but is there a way to do the following from within Maven by passing it a property of where to deploy the files to?
mvn install && tar -C /my/deployment/folder xvzf target/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-default.tar.gz ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-default/
Is there a way that I could provide Maven some configuration so I could do something like:
mvn install deploy -DdeploymentDir=/my/deployment/folder

use dir <format>dir</format> to obtain an unpacked dir
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>path/to/assembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
assembly.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GBK"?>
<assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.1">
<id></id>
<baseDirectory>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-default/</baseDirectory>
<formats>
<format>dir</format>
</formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>../../path/to/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-default/</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>**/**</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
use antrun to copy to dest dir
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase> ... choose after assembly </phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<copy todir="/tmp/xx" >
<fileset dir="target/${project.build.finalName}"/>
</copy>
