ant - Copy multiple files using maven-resources-plugin -

i'm trying

• delete/re-create directory
• copy arbitrary file directory
• copy multiple files directory each base directory of module in setup.

that said, there have 15 copy-paste operations in total. module called release each other module. i've heard maven-resources-plugin there such purposes , tried utilize follows:

<plugins>    <!-- use plugin remove install folder, re-created later-->     <plugin>      <artifactid>maven-clean-plugin</artifactid>      <version>3.0.0</version>      <configuration>        <filesets>          <fileset>            <directory>${basedir}/module.release/install</directory>            <followsymlinks>false</followsymlinks>          </fileset>        </filesets>      </configuration>     </plugin>     <!-- plugin here used copy necessary files      directories -->     <plugin>     <artifactid>maven-resources-plugin</artifactid>     <version>3.0.1</version>     <executions>       <!-- create install folder -->       <execution>         <id>create-resources-1</id> <!-- possible?-->         <phase>validate</phase>         <goals>           <goal>create-resources</goal> <!-- possible?-->         </goals>         <configuration>           <resources>                       <resource>               <directory>${basedir}/module.release/install</directory>             </resource>           </resources>                       </configuration>         </execution>        <!-- copy files install folder -->       <execution>         <id>copy-resources-1</id>         <phase>validate</phase>         <goals>           <goal>copy-resources</goal>         </goals>         <configuration>           <outputdirectory>${basedir}/module.release/install</outputdirectory>           <resources>                       <resource>               <directory>${basedir}/module.release/template</directory>               <includes>                 <include> **/*.sh</include> <!-- wanted include .sh files found under directory-->               </includes>               <filtering>true</filtering>             </resource>           </resources>                       </configuration>                   </execution>        <!-- copy felix file folder under install .-->       <execution>         <id>copy-resources-2</id>         <phase>validate</phase>         <goals>           <goal>copy-resources</goal>         </goals>         <configuration>           <outputdirectory>${basedir}/module.release/install/group1.broker/bin</outputdirectory>           <resources>                       <resource>               <directory>${basedir}/group1/org.apache.felix</directory>               <includes>                 <include>felix.jar</include>               </includes>               <filtering>true</filtering>             </resource>           </resources>                       </configuration>                   </execution>       <!-- copy template files , configurations -->       <execution>         <id>copy-resources-2</id>         <phase>validate</phase>         <goals>           <goal>copy-resources</goal>         </goals>         <configuration>           <outputdirectory>${basedir}/for-each-module/conf</outputdirectory> <!-- don't know each module's conf folder?-->           <resources>                       <resource>               <directory>${basedir}/module.release/template</directory>               <includes>                 <include>**/*.properties</include> <!-- wanted include .properties files found under directory-->               </includes>               <filtering>true</filtering>             </resource>           </resources>                       </configuration>                   </execution>     </executions>   </plugin> </plugins> 

however guess erroneous. looked bit , saw people define multiple executions not make sense in long run, since 15 executions in pom.xml not feasible, or normal in such cases?

keep in mind told not use maven-antrun-plugin or maven-assembly-plugin. i've have ant code operation, , want mavenize this:

<!-- delete , create directory, make ready, put .sh files in there. --> <target name="clean">     <delete dir="${install.dir}" /> </target>  <target name="prepare">     <mkdir dir="${install.dir}" />     <copy file="${template.dir}/run.all.sh" todir="${install.dir}" />     <copy file="${template.dir}/kill.all.sh" todir="${install.dir}" />     <copy file="${template.dir}/packlogs.sh" todir="${install.dir}" /> </target>  <!-- copy felix binary bundle --> <copy file="../group1/org.apache.felix/felix.jar" todir="${component.release.dir}/bin" />   <!-- copy template files , configurations --> <copy file="${component.project.dir}/conf/config.properties" todir="${component.release.dir}/conf" /> <copy todir="${component.release.dir}/plans">     <fileset dir="${component.project.dir}/plans" includes="**" /> </copy> <copy file="../group1/module1.mw/conf/log4j.xml" todir="${component.release.dir}/conf" /> <copy file="${template.dir}/run.ant" todir="${component.release.dir}" /> <copy file="${template.dir}/run.sh" todir="${component.release.dir}" /> 

as can see file/folder operations. sure maven has convenient way of doing this. shouldn't more difficult ant one.

any thoughts?
