We could probably come up with a new goal that would do that.
(something along the lines of run-ide or run-platform goal)
ideally it would be nice if we could align it with the plugins that do
installers (are there any?)

I see. src/main/resources get into the actual module jar, not good place.
In that case the best place to include the help packaging is the nbm
goal I suppose. We can recognize some folder path eg.
src/main/nbm-help and if it exists, trigger building of the help jar.

you can file a bug report. it helps if you have an ant snippet that is
capable of doing the mentioned things. if you want to supply a patch
to the nbm-plugin, check
