Maven: Change deploy directory of /src/main/resources

In a dynamic project in Eclipse I would like the files under /src/main/resource to be deployed in a directory other than WEB-INF/classes (specifically I would like to deploy them in WEB-INF/cfg).

I tried to change, in Java Build Path, the "Output folder" with target/cfg and the "Deploy Path" under Deploy Assembly but when I run Maven clean + Maven Install, the files under /src/main/resource continue to be deployed under WEB-INF/classes

Solution

  • Use src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/cfg instead. The Maven WAR plugin knows all about the src/main/webapp folder, and uses it as the root of the WAR. But you probably already know that, sine you already have a src/main/webapp folder.
