How can you use the assembly plugin to copy files within the file system and not create an archive? The <binaries> element has an <unpack> option that might work if you can get rid of the temporary archive.

Also I am not clear on what the difference is between "source" files and "binary" files is as they are not defined in the plugin documentation for assembly. Possible binary files means files in target/classes? Or could this mean non-text files in src/main?

Most of the "copy this file to this special place" type "problems"
we've seen on this list can be "solved" with the Assembly plugin
and/or Antrun plugin.

So that's one vote for antRun for a the totally common need to copy files.

I am also suspecting that <resources> behavior depends on the
<packaging> type although I haven't tested that theory and this doesn't
seem to be documented anywhere.
