Description

<webResources><resource><directory> breaks when run from a parent pom.

When you define a resource directory for filtering, you must define it relative to the POM. When run from the war project's pom eveything works. When run from the parent you get an error

[ERROR] FATAL ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] basedir src\main\webapp\WEB-INF does not exist
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[DEBUG] Trace

This is of course because the directory is relative to the child pom, where the plugin configuration was defined, not relative to the parent pom.

I have attached an example project that demonstrates the bug.
To repoduce

• Run mvn package from the child my-app project everything works.
• run mvn pacakge from the parent directory you will get the error.
