Thanks Wendy,
Sorry for the confusion, but I guess you are right, I may need to use the
assembly plug-in.
I ended up just having a look at the code for the war plug-in and debugging
it. It turns out I needed to specify a webappDirectory element that would
define the actual web app directory for the output:
<webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/webApp</webappDirectory>
Is what I did.
This worked! I now have the output of the build in the correct locations.
However, I do require the actual .war file to have the same structure as the
output directory. If this is as simple as another config node, then ill keep
using the war plug-in but if its not that simple, I may have to switch to
the assembly plug-in
