Actually, I think this sounds more like the "package" goal if you're talking about composing a WAR. I've never used the "install" goal to move files around like you're describing, always interpreting "install" to mean installation of this artifact into a Maven repository. However, the more conventional meaning of "install" -- say, as a Makefile target -- does sound like what you're describing.
My work flow to this point has been to do 'mvn install' in the parent directory (I'm using a hierarchical project/sub-project layout), then cd to my webapp project directory and run 'mvn jetty:run'. It appears that the install goal of the webapp project is creating an exploded war *and* a .war file and, because of this, it seemed to me that the BIRT viewer applet should be here and ready-to-go after execution of the install goal. I don't mind changing my work habits if something isn't working as maven would normally expect it to ;-)

I'm just fiddling with the dependency plugin right now, maybe I should be reviewing my work flow and checking on the war plugin then? ;-)

No problem at all. The information is very much appreciated. Footnotes:
