Convert existing web application structure to maven file structure?

Question

I have an existing web application that creates a .war file. I want to convert the directory structure to maven conventions. And I lost a little.

In particular, the current .war created using ant target does not copy anything to the .war in the subtree of the site / static directory; it is copied by another, different purpose ant.

But if I want to launch, for example, the pier from maven (and I do!), I need to copy the site / statics / ** /. somewhere in the maven directory target. I don't know how to do this, given the maven rules.

Thank.

Here's the existing directory structure as a (sorry) screenshot of an Eclipse form:
