You can actually use the wildcard as mentioned in the Maven doc, and in the example below (taken from the afored mentioned website):

<resources>
   ....
  <resource>
    <directory>src/my-resources</directory>
    <includes>
      <include>**/*.txt</include>
      <include>**/*.rtf</include>
    </includes>
  </resource>
  ...
</resources>
