Overlaying BIRT Runtimes on the Right WAR Locations

Question

I am trying to get Maven to build a WAR with a BIRT runtime in a useful place in a WAR.

BIRT runtime is in pom.xml as

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.birt</groupId>
  <artifactId>report-engine</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.2</version>
  <type>zip</type>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

The desired result of superimposing this is something like

ReportEngine/lib/*           -> WEB-INF/lib 
ReportEngine/configuration/* -> WEB-INF/platform/configuration 
ReportEngine/plugins/*       -> WEB-INF/platform/plugins 

My overlay configuration looks like

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <overlays>
      <overlay>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.birt</groupId>
        <artifactId>report-engine</artifactId>
        <type>zip</type>
        <includes>
          <include>ReportEngine/lib/*</include>
        </includes>
        <targetPath>WEB-INF/lib</targetPath>
      </overlay>
      <overlay>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.birt</groupId>
        <artifactId>report-engine</artifactId>
        <type>zip</type>
        <includes>
          <include>ReportEngine/configuration/*</include>
          <include>ReportEngine/plugins/*</include>
        </includes>
        <targetPath>WEB-INF/platform</targetPath>
      </overlay>
    </overlays>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Of course, at startup, mvn war:explodedI see

ReportEngine/lib/*           -> WEB-INF/lib/ReportEngine/lib/ 
ReportEngine/configuration/* -> WEB-INF/platform/configuration/ReportEngine/lib/ 
ReportEngine/plugins/*       -> WEB-INF/platform/plugins/ReportEngine/lib/

This applies, the same problem, there is no answer http://www.coderanch.com/t/447258/Ant-Maven-Other-Build-Tools/Maven-war-dependencies-moving-files

Reward points for indicating how I can slightly reduce this if all of this works out WEB-INF/birt-runtime

Edit:

, , http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_%28BIRT%29_2.1, fritz Tomcat, , , . , zip WEB-INF/birt-runtime, , , .

:

engineConfig = new EngineConfig();
engineConfig.setEngineHome("WEB-INF/birt-runtime");
engineConfig.setPlatformContext(new PlatformServletContext(servletContext));
