I don't know if I understand you correctly. But what I have done in the past for a project where I needed to copy configuration files, is use the Maven AntRun plugin. What I did is execute the plugin in the process-resources phase and copied my configuration files to the specified directory using the Ant copy task. The Assembler plugin executes in the package phase so it should pick up your configuration files if you put it in the right place. Hope this answers your question a little bit.
