Just put your resources files in src/main/resources/appcontext and
everything will work fine. No need to copy.

By defining them again as POM properties, maybe in a profile ?
It seems to me that you are encountering problems because you are
trying to use maven the same way you use ant. Maybe you are just in
the middle of a migration from ant to maven ?
So you are perhaps trying to find a solution to the wrong problem.
Do you really need to make ant.common.eportal.services.dir a property
? Can't you hardcode it until your conversion is done ?
Can't you keep your xml files in each of your sub module jars
(services, messaging...) and extract them from there (that way you
don't need to remember where they are stored locally) ?
BTW don't copy your files under your source directory, better copy
them to your target resource directory.
Cheers,
Jerome
