In Maven, can I pack JEE project in Zip archive together SQL scripts? - maven

Question

Hello everyone first of all,
Suppose I have a JEE project contents some modules and a 'sql' folder inside:
I build all modules to a 'integration-version.ear' archive file.
There is the content of my target:
Using Maven, can I build something like this:
There is the ‘3.15’ folder includes some SQL files from the same folder of my project.
Is it possible? What is configuration of Maven needed?
Note:
The original question was like: "In Maven, can I pack JEE project in RAR archive together SQL scripts?" but now the question is changed because RAR is a proprietary format and each tools that create RAR files must be commercially licensed.
Solution:
Using build-helper-maven-plugin

<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>parse-version</goal>

<configuration>
<propertyPrefix>parsedVersion</propertyPrefix>

Using maven-assembly-plugin
pom.xml

There are 2 Maven plugins which can do that: maven-assembly-plugin and maven-rar-plugin
If you want to use maven-rar-plugin, i would create a new module with packaging rar and configure the plugin.
I personally think maven-assembly-plugin is easier to use.
