You should make use of Apache Maven Assembly Plugin.

You could specify the source directory in assembly descriptor as follows:

<fileSets>
    <fileSet>
        <directory>[source directory path]</directory>
    </fileSet>
</fileSets>

and pack it as a jar:

<formats>
    <format>jar</format>
</formats>
