ah i see, got same problem when porting a WAS/RAD based project to maven
i tried too what you say, but it didnt preserved the directory structure
i turned out to write an ant task that does it... not nice i know......
below is the plugin if you need it
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>antTask</id>
<phase>process-classes</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="**** copying resources ******"/>
<copy toDir="${project.build.outputDirectory}/resources">
<fileset dir="ejbModule/resources"/>
</copy>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
