Maven supplies default goals for the most common tasks - jar is one of these.
" jar" is a goal from the java plugin..... http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/java/goals.html In the maven.xml file you can extend these goal like this: <goal name="java:jar></goal>...will override the default goal <preGoal name="java:jar <postGoal name... will be run before and after the java:jar goal Hope this points you in the right direction...

Hence they (the resources) have to be in the classpath. I managed to copy them to the classes alonside my compiled sources, but then the jar task (or whatever stands for it) just ignores them provided, I suppose, they have nothing to do with bytecodes. The problem is: I cannot find anything like a "jar task". There are everywhere things like jar:install or deploy "goals", with nowhere a specification of what it's supposed to do. Can somebody help ? Thanks in advance, Bernard
