Copying files from my project in Maven

Is it possible to cop开发者_Python百科y folders from my project to a certain location during some Maven phase? Does anybody know how?

The Maven way of doing this would be using the copy-resources goal in maven-resources-plugin

From http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/copy-resources.html

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.7</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>copy-resources</id>
            <!-- here the phase you need -->
            <phase>validate</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>copy-resources</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/extra-resources</outputDirectory>
              <resources>          
                <resource>
                  <directory>src/non-packaged-resources</directory>
                  <filtering>true</filtering>
                </resource>
              </resources>              
            </configuration>            
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>

Take a look at the maven-antrun plugin. You can copy a file in any maven phase like this:

    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.4</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>copy</id>
          <phase>compile</phase>
          <configuration>
            <tasks>
              <copy file="myFileSource" tofile="MyFileDest"/>
            </tasks>
          </configuration>
          <goals>
            <goal>run</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution> 
      </executions>
    </plugin>

A solution similar to @mort's one with maven-antrun-plugin 1.8:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.8</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>copy</id>
      <phase>compile</phase>
      <configuration>
        <target>
          <copy file="sourceFile" tofile="targetFile"/>
        </target>
      </configuration>
      <goals>
        <goal>run</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution> 
  </executions>
</plugin>

Note that <tasks> node is deprecated in favor of <target> node as of maven-antrun-plugin 1.5.
