I have a Web application in maven that follows this structure:

src

`-- main

    |-- java

    |-- resources

    `-- webapp

Is is better to put it in the main folder and then the maven plug in will try to move it or I should put it inside the webapp folder and why?

If you don't need to filter CSS and JS files, I would simply put them in src/main/webapp (if you put them in src/main/resources, they will end up in target/classes and in WEB-INF/classes in the WAR which is very unlikely what you want). If you need to filter them, additional resources can be included in the WAR using the webResources parameter. Have a look at Adding and Filtering External Web Resources for more details.
