Maven - How can I include jsp files in the .jar file generated using maven-source-plugin

Question

I'm trying to pack the source code of my application into a.JAR file, I used the maven-source-plugin for the same. I added the following section into pom.xml for the same -

          <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.1.0</version>
                <extensions>false</extensions>
                <inherited>true</inherited>
                <configuration>
                   <outputDirectory>c:\app\workspace</outputDirectory>
                    <finalName>app.jar</finalName>
                    <attach>false</attach>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>attach-sources</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>jar</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
           </plugin>

I can see the source files in the jar generated at the outputDirectory location, but the JSP files are missing, I can see only.java files. How can I also pack.jsp files? My application has these jsp files stored under src/main/webapps folder. I do not see webapps folder in the jar generated. Please advise.
