Deployment Assembly configuration not working with mvn package

Below is the maven project structure I have in eclipse:

enter image description here

And the deployment assembly configuration is as shown below:

enter image description here

If I package the war with maven command (mvn clean package) and deploy the war on tomcat, the "resource" folder under WEB-INF is not getting created as I mentioned in deployment assembly configuration. The server side folder structure created after deployment is as in the image below:

enter image description here

But, if I export the war from eclipse "Right click on project -> Export -> War file" and deploy in tomcat, it is creating the "resources" folder.

enter image description here

Kindly help me with this. Thanks in advance!!!

If you look at the documentation for the maven-war-plugin here:

maven-war-plugin

You'll see that by default the contents of the "resources" folder gets placed inside the "classes" folder inside the WAR, so for a maven build you should find your resources in there.

Your Eclipse configuration is different, placing the resources in a separate "resources" folder under WEB-INF. Exporting from Eclipse will use this configuration rather than the maven configuration.

I would recommend changing your Eclipse configuration to match the maven one by changing the Deploy Path to "WEB-INF/classes"
