Maven：如何将资源复制到WAR中？

Question

I have an Eclipse webapp project that I am trying to migrate from Ant build to Maven build. I have a lot of non-Java files in my src/ folder, for example log4j2.xml , ehcache.xml , some .properties localization files etc.

When I run war:war target on this project, the resulting WAR file contains only the .class files in the WEB-INF/classes folder, all the non-Java files are missing. In Ant I did this:

<target name="copy-resources" depends="compile">
  <copy todir="${build}">
    <fileset dir="${src}">
      <exclude name="**/*.java"/>
    </fileset>
  </copy>
</target>

How do I achieve the same thing in Maven? I suspect I should be using the resources folder, but right now I am trying to migrate with as little changes to the original codebase as possible...

You can access these files from resources folder. I hope this link helps.

You can also specify the folder, if it is not the default resources folder, in the pom.xml. See Specifying resource directories .

For example, if your folder has these files in src/my-resources, then you need to add this to the pom.xml, and then you would be able access it in code.

   <resources>
     <resource>
       <directory>src/my-resources</directory>
     </resource>
   </resources>
