either configure the outputDirectory parameter of resources:resources plugin, or put your files under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/ directory. resource plugin

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-resources-plugin
    2.4.2
    
      
        default-copy-resources
        process-resources
        
          copy-resources
        
        
          true
          ${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}/WEB-INF/
          
            
              ${project.basedir}/src/main/resources
            
          
        
      
    
  

you can run a phase in the form somePhase or a goal somePlugin:someGoal. The phase invocations will invoke all plugins goals hooked on phases in interval [validate,phase] in order, so there's no need to explicitly call them.
