Upon further reading the docs for the plugin, I guess this is not the correct plugin for wars. Is that correct?
I looked at the war plugin, but it doesn't appear to be able to be configured the same. Is there anyway that I can accomplish the goal defined below. For the bin/*.sh files, I could just start them off in the web-inf folder structure, and let the war plugin package them. The empty bigbrother folder is a different story. The war plugin won't build an empty folder into a war file, and it needs to be done. It was easy in ant. Is there anything similar in maven? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks...
