`maven war:war` makes webapp folder go inside of WEB-INF

This is a test project structure. There are resources, java, webapp folders inside of src/main. Default maven project, right?

enter image description here

And I need to export this project as war so tried mvn war:war on cmd.

But the unexpected result. the images folder, which is in the webapp folder, should be placed in the root of war, but it is in the WEB-INF/classes.

enter image description here

I don't get what is wrong. I didn't touch the pom.xml :

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>maventest</groupId>
  <artifactId>maventest</artifactId>
  <packaging>war</packaging>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <name>maventest Maven Webapp</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
  <build>
    <finalName>maventest</finalName>
  </build>
</project>

Try creating WebContent folder containing images and WEB-INF folders at the same level of src folder and bundle them into a war file.

Also as you mentioned, add below into maven-war-plugin 

<warSourceDirectory>${basedir}/WebContent</warSourceDirectory>
