Using the antrun-maven-plugin makes it easy, but in case you are looking for a more mavenish way which is supported within eclipse m2e, then you can use the copy-rename-maven-plugin

  
    com.coderplus.maven.plugins
    copy-rename-maven-plugin
    1.0.1
    
      
        rename-file
        compile
        
          rename
        
        
          ${project.build.outputDirectory}/default.DS_Store
          ${project.build.outputDirectory}/.DS_Store
        
      
    
  

And in case you have any feedback/issues with the plugin, you can reach out at https://github.com/coderplus/copy-rename-maven-plugin/
