Maven WAR Plugin ignores project-specific dist folder when packaging

[karthik Suryanarayanan]

Hi Everyone,

I am building a maven project and bundling it into a war and finally an EAR file. I have angular code inside the war project under src/main/webapp/angular_dashboard as a web resource and under that i have a folder called dist which is needed inside the war.

When the build runs , the maven war plugin (version 2.6) does not include the dist folder inside the war file.
I tried to use warSourceIncludes and packagingIncludes , but doesnt seem to solve the case.

ANy suggestions ? If needed, i can post my entire maven project stucture here
