Copying resources

[EJ Ciramella]

Is there a way to copy stuff outside of the project directory in?
 
Say I'm building in:
 
E:\project\somedir\pom.xml
 
and I want to copy in files as defined as a property in profiles.xml:
 
some.dir=C:\somedir
 
Is there a way I can copy some items from ${some.dir}?
