The main purpose of "add-source" goal is to add additional directories to
maven compilable directory list. Out of the
box, maven only allows one directory ( build.sourceDirectory ). So you
tried to use it for the wrong purpose.

The puzzle still stands.
I set "source", but "target". The plugin would copy the file to where?
And I don't find any configuration related to "copy" work.
My case,
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>add-source</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>add-source</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<sources>
<source>
D:/maven/mmdemo/user/web/src/webapp/conf
</source>
</sources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Nothing was copied to the project.
a cup of Java, cheers!
