maven-jar-plugin(put the configuration file to the WEB-INFO/classes rather than WEB-INFO/lib/xx.jar.

HI:
I have two module Server(type of jar) and Web(type of war).
The Web module need Server, however in the Server module I need to read
something from a config file(config.properties), this file is put under the
Server module, and I do not want to this file packaged to the server.jar
file, I want to it under the Web/WEB-INFO/classes .
So I use the maven-jar-plugin to exclude the config.properties, however
after I run "mvn clean install" , I found that the server.jar do not contain
the config.properties( this is just I expected), however the file do not
exist under the Web/WEB-INFO/classes.
So I want to know if there are any ways to implement my requirement?

Remove config.properties from your server jar project!
Put it in src/main/resources of the war project (as you would for any Maven
project).

Yes, it is just why I did this.
But where should I put the config.properties in the war module. The
structures of my proect is :

Server
--src/main/java
        --ClassWhichUseTheConfigFile () //use the
XX.class.getResource("config.properties")
        --config.poperties
--src/mainresourcs

Web
--src/main/webapp
  .......


So if I put the file to Web(war) module, I may have to modify the manner to
get it.

Generally, read files from the classpath.
So, remove the config.properties form your server project. For any unit
tests you can put a config.properties under src/test/resources (will be on
the test class path). The add the config.properties to you war project so
that it will be added to the webapp's class path. And there you go... Or,
you might even want to keep the config.properties outside the war if you
want to have different configuration for each environment. Your app server
will likely have some folder where you can add config.properties so that it
ends up on the class path.
