       Body:
I agree.

There should be a basedir/src/dist-resources directory that adds resources to the distribution's generated content (jar's, docs, ...).
Much in the same way that java resources are added to the generated classes for the jar goal.

Such distribution resources can be:
- .bat or .sh files
- a .ico file used by the shortcuts created by the nsis installer 
- ...

Currently I had to insert as a postGoal:
    <!-- Icon file needed for installer -->
    <copy todir="${maven.dist.bin.assembly.dir}">
      <fileset dir="${basedir}/src/dist-resources">
        <include name="*.ico"/>
      </fileset>
    </copy>

        Key: MPDIST-14
    Summary: making it possible to add config or libs to the dirst
       Type: Wish

     Status: Open

Description:
the dist plugin only copies docs and jars readme and license
(and src if creating a src dist). It is not possible to add extra directories to be added to the dist. that's a shame because it makes the dist quite unusable. why not copy everyting?
