The first example on this page <http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering- webresources.html> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-w ebresources.html says that resources outside the src folder will be placed in the root of the war
Ex, with this filestructure: |-- pom.xml |-- resource2 | |-- external-resource.jpg | `-- image2 | `-- external-resource2.jpg //more structure And this configuration of the war-plugin <configuration> <webResources> <resource> <!-- this is relative to the pom.xml directory --> <directory>resource2</directory> </resource> </webResources> </configuration> The war file will be structured like this: //more structure |-- external-resource.jpg |-- image2 | `-- external-resource2.jpg Is it possible to structure the war-file like the original filestructure? I.e having all the extra resources in the resource2-folder, and that folder in the root of the war-file? /Ludwig
