Overlays for different maven Profiles

I want to have different configurations for different build types. I implemented my build types as maven profiles that mutually exclude each other with development as a default. My directory structure looks something like:

...
  resources
    development
      ...
    testing
      ...
    release
      ...

...
  resources
    development
      ...
    testing
      ...
    release
      ...

I tried to set the matching directory as the resource root. But that did not work at all... I was trying to find an example with the shade plugin, since it will be used anyways to build a fat jar. If you know of an example i would be glad. Nonetheless would I prefer to overlay the resource directory with the special build type directories. I am dumb in regards to maven, so I don't even know how to google for that. If there is nothing, I would be able to build my own plugin.
