maven copy subfolder from target to an external directory

I have a maven Java web application which generates a WAR file, I want to be able to copy a specific folder inside target to an external directory on my filesystem:

app folder structure:

├───app
│   ├───css
│   ├───img
│   ├───js
│   ├───lib
│   
├───META-INF
└───WEB-INF
    └───lib

I want to be able to copy only the "app" folder from target to a specific external directory after the build is completed successfully.

Maven resources plugin can help you to do that. Other possible choices are Maven antrun plugin or copy Maven plugin.

Technically, a plugin cannot be executed after the end of the build, but you can choose an appropriate phase to link your plugin execution to.
