Thanks Wendy,

Sorry for the confusion, but I guess you are right, I may need to use the
assembly plug-in.

I ended up just having a look at the code for the war plug-in and debugging
it. It turns out I needed to specify a webappDirectory element that would
define the actual web app directory for the output:

<webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/webApp</webappDirectory>

Is what I did.

This worked! I now have the output of the build in the correct locations.

However, I do require the actual .war file to have the same structure as the
output directory. If this is as simple as another config node, then ill keep
using the war plug-in but if its not that simple, I may have to switch to
the assembly plug-in

I've read it several times and I'm still not sure I understand the
problem.  The web.xml file belongs directly in WEB-INF, which sounds
like exactly where the plugin is putting it, once you tell it where
the file is.

Are you trying to get the war plugin to build a .war file that has a
top level directory called "webApp"?  If so, you might have better
luck with the Assembly plugin.
