This doesn't directly address your request, but perhaps it will be
useful. If you have scp access to the remote host, you can use the
'wagon-maven-plugin' from the Apache MyFaces project to deploy an entire
directory:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.myfaces.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>deploy</phase>
<id>deploy-non-maven-artifacts</id>
<goals>
<goal>deploy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<url>scpexe://somehost.com/path/to/some/directory/</url>
<inputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/whatever</inputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Note that I've not tried to use the plugin to deploy a directory with
subdirs. I'd be interested to hear whether or not that works.
