build process, project src overrides

Please tell me if am not understanding this process correctly.

Maven war by default copies everything from src/webapp

plugin.jelly calls a postGoal for war:webapp, which then extracts all
the files from the jars and over writes the files there.

so, from that understanding, the files I place in
$MY_PROJECT/src/webapp/WEB-INF will be over written by any file of the
same name in the process.  I've tested this with
$MY_PROJECT/src/webapp/WEB-INF/test.xml which gets copied to the DIST.
But I then placed a test.xml in app-personality/src/webapp/WEB-INF and
its contents were in the DIST on the following build.

I hope I'm wrong, or that there is an easy fix.

thanks,
