webRessources, are ressources bundled in your war archive...
You should rather specify the build/ressources element in your POM to
include the correct ressources, and let the maven-war-plugin include those
ressources in your produced war.
Something like:
...
<build>
...
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>WebContent/JavaSource</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</resources>
...
</build>
...
That should work (alternatively, you can specify includes instead of
excludes tags).

I just noticed that the example provided on the plugin website has a
<resource> tag nested inside another <resource> , as shown below :
Overriding the default destination directory of a web resource
By default web resources are copied to the root of the war, as shown in the
previous example. To override the default destination directory, specify the
target path.
[...]
<configuration>
<webResources>
<resource>
[...]
<resource>
<directory>configurations</directory>
<!-- override the destination directory for this resource -->
<targetPath>WEB-INF</targetPath>
<!-- enable filtering -->
<filtering>true</filtering>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/properties<exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
[...]
I tried to do it the same way , the build started and then got stumped
with an error message saying
"[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to configure plugin parameters for:
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven
-war-plugin:2.0
Cause: Cannot find setter nor field in org.apache.maven.model.Resource for
'resource'
"
Is this a bug in the plugin?Has anyone succeded in overriding the default
destination directory of a web resource using this example on the website?
