You can do this with assemblies using sources/fileSets without too much trouble.
(this assumes you want all of your resources/ put into the zip in a
module called something-front)
into your pom:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
assembly.xml:
<assembly>
<id>front-assembly</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<moduleSets>
<moduleSet>
<includes>
<include>*-front</include>
</includes>
<sources>
<includeModuleDirectory>false</includeModuleDirectory>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/resources/</directory>
<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</sources>
</moduleSet>
</moduleSets>
</assembly>
