Answer 1

If you want to copy more directories or files - a better option:

  <plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>copy-resources</id>
        <phase>validate</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>copy-resources</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <tasks>
            <copy todir="${basedir}/target/blah" overwrite="true">
                 <fileset dir="blah"/>
            </copy>
            <copy file="${basedir}/target/blah/somefile"
                  todir="../target_webapp_eclaims/WEB-INF" overwrite="true"/>
          </tasks>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

You can use ant-style patterns

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.7</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>copy-resources</id>
            <phase>validate</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>copy-resources</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
                <resources>
                    <resource>
                        <directory>${basedir}</directory>
                        <includes>
                            <include>blah/**</include>
                            <include>uggh/**</include>
                        </includes>
                    </resource>
                </resources>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
