Question

Example usage of the assembly plugin to copy and/or rename a file:

pom file:

  4.0.0
  test
  test
  0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
   
    
      
        maven-assembly-plugin
        2.2.1
        
          
            src/main/descriptors/example.xml
          
        
      
    
  

Descriptor file:

       example
       
              dir
       
       
              
                     src/main/resources/something.properties
                     /
                     something.properties
              
              
                     src/main/resources/something.properties
                     /
                     something_en.properties
