This creates my JAR fie containing all classes, but I have some resources in the class path which should be included also. If I leave the parameter clean in front of the phase package, all my resources are included. If I run maven with mvn clean package, there aren't any resources included. My resources are under src/main/java/com/test/ (not the usual directory).
Answer
The source directories for the resources are not defined correctly in the copy-resources goal configuration. Also, the outputDirectory element puts the resources in the target dir, when target/classes is what gets packaged by default. Try this config:
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/classes</outputDirectory>
<includeEmptyDirs>true</includeEmptyDirs>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/java/com/test/customize</directory>
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/java/com/test/resources</directory>
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/java/com/test/xml</directory>
<filtering>false</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
</configuration>
That said, you might consider putting the resources in ${basedir}/src/main/resources, like so:
src
main
resources
customize
resources
xml
Then, you could remove the extra maven-resources-plugin config entirely, the default lifecycle will process the resources correctly.
