So I've added the maven-war-plugin to my pom.xml and added:

<configuration>
 <webXml>WEB-INF/glassfish-web.xml</webXml>
</configuration>

Now when I package my app this descriptor gets renamed to web.xml which causes a failure when trying to deploy my application to my glassfish server, since the server thinks the web.xml is malformatted I guess.
So how can I tell maven to leave the file name untouched?

<webXml> configuration isn't mandatory for maven-war-plugin. So, If you don't explicitly mention the webXml, It won't rename the file. You will get the expected behaviour if you remove this webXml entry from your pom.xml

Edit 1

I don't think there is an option to skip webXml file renaming. You can try copy-resources task in maven-resources plugin. You can configure a resource file/directory mappings from Project dir to War archive.

  If I remove the <webXml> entry in the configuration section of the war-plugin then it works ONLY IF I move the glassfish-web.xml to the following location: src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/glassfish-web.xml What if my project structure deviates from this? I want to have my WEB-INF folder at the top level of my application. The <webXml> tag seems to be there for exactly this reason, so you can reference a deployment descriptor in a location other than the default one. So I'm still looking for a way to prevent maven from renaming.
