If you would like to prepare such folder structure somewhere in your project and then copy to place you want, use maven-resource plugin to do that:

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-resources-plugin
   
       
           copy-folder
           package
           
               copy-resources
           
           
               ${project.build.directory}
               
                   
                    false
                    ${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/folders
