Maven Resource Plugin Copying Files

I currently have some Maven projects which when I install the project I need to copy all files from the conf folder to the target folder.

|-Project
    |--src
    |--conf <--FROM HERE -->
    |--lib
    |--target <--TO HERE-->

I have attempted this in the pom.xml to no avail. What am I doing wrong? My plugin part of the pom.xml is below:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
        <id>copy-resources</id>
        <phase>install</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>copy-resources</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
            <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target</outputDirectory>
            <resources>
                <resource>
                    <directory>${basedir}/conf</directory>
                    <includes>
                        <include>*</include>
                    </includes>
                </resource>
            </resources>
        </configuration>
    </execution>
</executions>
