How to put something in the root directory of WAR using Maven?

Question

I'm trying to put a directory called .ebextensions in the root of my WAR using maven. I need this directory to be in the top level directory of my war, in the same place where my META-INF directory is.

I've tried putting .ebextensions in my /src/main/resources directory, and then compiled using mvn install, but this directory is not put in the war.

Am I doing anything wrong?

The project is using google web toolkit, if that makes any difference, but its a normal maven project in every sense (uses a .pom file, requires mvn clean install for compiling, etc).

You can put it in the root by putting it in "src/main/webapp"
