Using maven using non standard directory layout

Question

I am trying to apply maven to an existing project which already has a directory structure in place. All I can find from previous question is the following.

Maven dir

I guess you need to have something similar to below.

Seeing WEB-INF, I assume you want to build a war. Maven war plugin does this. You will need to configure this a bit since the folder structure is non-standard - for instance you may need to specify the location of web.xml using webXml property. These are documented in the usage page.

    src-java
    ...
    
      
        src-properties
      
    
    ...
    
            
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-war-plugin
                
                    WEB-INF
                    ...
