Putting resources to somewhere else
Dear Users,
I would like maven to put my resources not into the jar file, but next
to classes in a resources directory, so my structure would be:
Component +
- lib +
- mycomponent.jar
- resources +
- myresource.xml
Etc.
Could anybody help how to tell the resource processor plugin where to
put it? I could tell only relative path within target/classes, but not
relative to output directory.
Thanks,
Marton Szabo

If you prefer to keep your non-Java resources under src/main/java,
then use <resources> to pick them up.
This pom has an example:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/struts1/trunk/core/pom.xml
You can also do it by adding a <resource> for src/main/java and
excluding **/*.java to get everything but the Java sources. (That
might pick up Javadoc package summaries, though.)
The only thing to keep in mind is that once you specify any
<resources>, you're responsible for specifying *all* of them. (For
example, the 'default' of src/main/resources has to be stated
explicitly in addition to anything under src/main/java.)

Is there a simple way to have the resources next to the Java classes (ie. in
src/main/java)? When developing with Hibernate, it's tedious to switch back
and forth between the directories.
I've checked the docs for the plugin but there is no example to do this.
This made me think it might be dangerous to do (side effects, etc).

In order to stop Maven from putting your resources into your jar you
need to override the default targetpath directory for the resources.
This is done in the POM in the <resources> section. If you take a look
at what I have below...this is telling maven to output any files found
in the src/main/resources to target/resources. This way...the maven pkg
cmd won't add them to your jar. As you can see I also have maven setup
to exclude certain sub folders in there because I customize maven to
only filter files found in the filtered folder and only put files found
in the packaged folder into the jar. I then use assemblies as Wendy
described to create the structure similar to what you listed below. If
you want more details on how I set all this up you can email me
directly.
Ie. <resources>
<resource>
<targetPath>../resources</targetPath>
<filtering>false</filtering>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>filtered/**</exclude>
<exclude>packaged/**</exclude>
<exclude>dir.info</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
<resource>

If you want to build something that contains jars and other files,
look at the assembly plugin:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/
(The current version is actually 2.1, not 2.2 as it says.)
Otherwise, whatever you put in src/main/resources will be mirrored in
the jar. So if you want something at the "top level" of the jar, put
it directly in src/main/resources. Then create the desired directory
structure from there. It will overlay (or sit beside) the classes
compiled from code in src/main/java. You can use <resources> in the
pom to identify things to copy into the jar.
