spring-boot - Spring Boot, Vue.js and npm watch

Question

I have a stack containing Spring-Boot and Vue.js. By maven configuration project is separated into two modules: frontend and backend. During the mvn clean install plugin exec-maven-plugin build frontend part. On the backend side, plugin maven-resources-plugin copies frontend build into aprropriate directory. Finally, the jar with spring-boot and frontend side is created.

The problem is, that this configuration is completeally unconvinient for development process:

1. I am running spring-boot application under intellij.
2. I am running "watch": "vue-cli-service build --watch",
3. When change on the frontend side occures, frontend build is done and ./frontend/target/dist directory is changed.

4. I manually copy ./frontend/target/dist into ./backend/target/META-INF/.....

5. Frontend changes are visible after page is reloaded.

The question is: is it possible to change target directory for frontend build process?
