I have a java project done with Eclipse and Maven with this estructure folder: enter image description here

Ok, when i make a Maven install to create the .jar take this structure folder:

enter image description here

So that the hierarchy is not the same and links to the images and css do not work.

I show you the code of pom.xml

enter code here

http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> 4.0.0 com.wepall palle 0.4.0 com.thoughtworks.xstream xstream com.thoughtworks.xstream xstream 1.4.9 palle

            </executions>
        </plugin>

    </plugins>
</build>

Any ideas?

thanks a lot!! Best regards

Answer 1

I think that you should create a war instead of a jar , because you are talking about css and images and jars should not contains that kind of files (see jar vs war ).

In maven you only need to change the <packaging> of the project inside the POM.

Answer 2

You should add a build section to your

<build>
        <directory>${basedir}/target</directory>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <targetPath>${basedir}/target/resources</targetPath>
                <directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
            </resource>
        </resources>
</build>
