maven build fails returns execution is : '127' - maven

Question

I am trying to rename an artifact using exec-maven-plugin. (I don't want to use antrun plugin as I am using that for a different purpose in the same phase and goal.)
Plugin in pom.xml :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>some-execution</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<executable>mv "${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-myapp.jar" "${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.app"</executable>
</configuration>
</plugin>
It fails to rename the artifact and gives below error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.1.1:exec (some-execution) on project cep: Result of /bin/sh -c cd /home/XYZ/workspace/myapp/solutions/cep && "mv "/home/XYZ/workspace/myapp/solutions/cep/target/cep-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-myapp.jar" "/home/XYZ/workspace/myapp/solutions/cep/target/cep-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.app"" **execution is: '127'**. -> [Help 1]

From these log, I am sure something is missing but I am unable to find out what. My OS is ubuntu /bin/sh is available. ls also lists the artifact at the specified location.

Solved it!
I was doing it wrong. The <executable> tag is supposed to have the command only. The arguments will be defined under <arguments>.
Please see the updated plugin definition:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>some-execution</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<executable>mv</executable>
<arguments>
<argument>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-myapp.jar</argument>
<argument>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.app</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
