I would suggest to use maven-assembly-plugin instead of maven-antrun-plugin. You need a configuration in your pom file like this:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>create-archives</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Furthermore you need to have a assembly descriptor which describes what should be packaged into the archive like this:
<assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.0.xsd">
<id>dist-assembly</id>
<formats>
<format>tar</format>
</formats>
<!--
! The following will include the base directory incl. version
! into the resulting tar.
! The default value is: true.
! <includeBaseDirectory>true</includeBaseDirectory>
-->
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>folder</directory>
<outputDirectory>.</outputDirectory>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
To control which folders are inside the archive you can use outputDirectory for it. The directory control which folder should be packaged into the archive.

it's not the cleanest solution, but i solved adding another sub folder,
so when I generate the jar, i put it in executable/executable, and after i make the tar.gz of the first executable's folder.
