I'm trying to use a unique license path other than just license.html in the build directory of the project (in this case license/license.html)

Stacktrace is as follows:

This is a separate error than when it couldn't find the license file, it looks like its trying to copy the file to the path of the temp folder directory rather than a path that corresponds to the license file below it.

It also looks like this issue was identified previously [here](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-maven-plugin-bug-licensefile-in-non-standard-path/12165), although it hasn't seem to been addressed.

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!
