[Vuejs]-Zip a file with maven to a NO java application directory

You mentioned, that you are already using npm to build your Vue app. There are libraries for npm available for zipping. You could e.g. do something like this:

const fs = require('fs');
const archiver = require('archiver');

const archive = archiver('zip', {
  zlib: { level: 9 }
});

const filename = "./output.zip";
const fileOutput = fs.createWriteStream(filename);

fileOutput.on('close', function() {
  console.info('ZIP file created. ' + archive.pointer() + ' total Bytes.');
});

archive.pipe(fileOutput);
archive.directory('./input-directory', '/');

archive.on('error', function(error) {
  throw error;
});

archive.finalize();

This assumes, that the output of your build process is stored in a dist folder on your file system and that you have access to the filesystem.

There are more examples of archiver in the official docs: https://github.com/archiverjs/node-archiver

You may build a zip file using the maven-assembly-plugin with an assembly descriptor.

The assembly descriptor goes in the project’s src/assembly directory, named something like my-zip-format.xml. You’ll need to customize the content to include the files needed but this is the idea.

<assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd">
    <id>my-zip</id>

    <formats>
      <format>zip</format>
    </formats>

    <fileSets>
      <fileSet>
        <directory>path/to/input/dir</directory>
        <outputDirectory>name-of-output-dir</outputDirectory>
        <directoryMode>0750</directoryMode>
        <fileMode>0640</fileMode>
        <lineEnding>unix</lineEnding>
      </fileSet>
    </fileSets>
</assembly>

Then, tell the POM to use the assembly:

....
<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
    <version><pluginVersionHere></version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>make-zip</id>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
           <goal>single</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <descriptors>
            <descriptor>src/assembly/my-zip-format.xml</descriptor>
          </descriptors>
        </configuration>
        ...

Documentation goes into a lot more detail, and there are plenty of SO questions/answers about assembly plugin nuances as well.
