Get list of filenames from a textfile within build and copy them
into a folder after compile goal
I have a text file containing a list of filenames in my build. When building
with maven, after the compile goal, I need to create a folder and copy the
files mentioned in the text file (along with the folder structure in their
respective projects) to a new folder within the build. This folder will then
be used by an assembly descriptor to create a distributable tar file.I am
not much familiar with maven. Is there any feature in maven that I can use
to accomplish this? Or should I create some script that will be called by
maven as a part of one of it's goals to copy the files?

This is non-standard behavior and you will likely need to just write
your own Maven plugin to accomplish this task/goal. Or as Ron stated,
adjust your process to incorporate some standard Maven plugins and
adopt their configuration rather than your "read a text file etc"
process.

Is that not what the assembly or shade plug-in does?
