Maven: Move Executable (.exe) into target Folder when Compiling

Question

So I tried differnt things to copy my desired, necesarry .exe file into the target folder when compiling my project. I also checked at the Q&A of Move a text file into target folder when compiling a Maven project - but it did not help.

So what I want is to copy 'chromedriver.exe' to the target folder when compiling the project (with mvn clean install). I need this .exe to launch my jar file.

Any help is appreciated!

I found an own solution: in the pom.xml, include

<resources>
    <resource>
        <directory>${project.basedir}</directory>
        <targetPath>${project.build.directory}</targetPath>
        <includes>
            <include>chromedriver.exe</include>
        </includes>
    </resource> 
</resources>

under the build tag.
