Resources from src tree

[Gwyn <gw...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
  I understand that if I want to have resources copied from src/main/java
rather than the default /src/main/resources, then I need to add something
like the following, but what I don't know is where I should be looking if I
want to see if the <includes>...</includes> section is needed of not.  

  Put another way, what resources are copied by default and/or where do I
find this info?

  <build>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <filtering>false</filtering>
                <directory>src/main/java</directory>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*.properties</include>
                </includes>
            </resource>
        </resources>
    </build>

I have a similar problem:
We have a quite huge source tree that contains lots of resources (html
files, properties, XML files etc.), that I'm trying to move to Maven. It
wouldn't make much sense to use the Maven default directory layout in
that special case. Well, it WOULD make sense, but it's a lot of work,
and convince the developers... ;-)

Therefore I'm using the following snippet in my pom.xml:

<resources>
  <resource>
    <directory>src/main/java</directory>
    <filtering>false</filtering>
    <excludes>
      <exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
    </excludes>
  </resource>
</resources>

<testResources>
  <testResource>
    <directory>src/test/java</directory>
    <excludes>
      <exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
    </excludes>
  </testResource>
</testResources>

It works quite fine for me.

AFAIK everything is copied. If you omit the <excludes> entries above,
Maven copies everything it finds in the given directories, i.e. not only
resources, but also your Java sources which normally is not what you want...
