How to exclude a property file from a dependency jar

[praveen kumar <lv...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

In *project A* 's pom.xml, there is a dependency added to *project B*. Both
*A *&* B* contains a property file *abc.properties *under *
src/main/resources* in jar*.*

Now problem is when A is deployed and application tries to read from
abc.properties, actually the file loaded is *abc.properties* from *project
B. *
Is there any way to *exclude* *abc.properties *from *project B *using *pom.xml
*of* project A so* that when *project A* is built, the dependency jar *project
B* that is being built doesnt contain *abc.properties?*
