Indeed, but if you read my original post fully I wasn't asking about the resources folder or the standard way, I was wanting them in the webapp folder which with the default quickstart wicket pom doesn't work. And I quote myself "Thanks for that, but that's not really my issue. How do I make Wicket find the .html files in the __root of the war__? The hack I have with maven at the moment properly constructs the war by copying all the .html files into the classes folder for Wicket to find, but maven also helpfully copies them into __the war's root__ as well creating duplicates in the war." As you can see my "hack" comment wasn't talking about a standard structure hence my use of the word. My changed directory structure was the "hack". You read "hack" and completely missed my question for something else. > However, since you are doing it in a non standard way then you'll need > the maven war plugin to assemble your war in the way you want. Indeed! Which was the reason for my original question. The war-plugin helpfully copies the contents of the webapp directory into the war, BUT if you also declare the resources as per the XML fragment to point at the webapp dir, then maven will copy the html files twice. Once into the classes directory structure as needed by Wicket and once into the webroot of the war as per the defaults of the war-plugin. That was my question, how do I stop maven (further the war-plugin) or how do you change the way Wicket loads the HTML so that I don't end up with two copies of the same files in the war. I may not have structure my question properly because I'm not fully versed with maven or wicket so you must excuse my inexperience. > You said this: > >> Thanks for that, but that's not really my issue.

Well I must be not looking right, because it wasn't really apparent to me. I'm going to go with Luther's suggestion and use the default resources folder to make what I need to happen happen. That way there is no messing about with modifications to Wicket and no clumsy fiddling with maven to move files into and out of weird directory structures.
