Parent sounds like a good place.
Normally it would pick up things in src/main/resources, but as you don't
have a maven directory structure I think you'll need to define a resource
dir in the parent POM. Something like this should work:
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/bin</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*.properties</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
I'm not sure exactly where you would need to place it in the artifact, I
guess that depends on where you expect them to be when you read them in.

You're right, those files are normally provided as part of the full binary
archive, which contains quite a few files in addition to the jars.
Adding them to an existing jar may cause issues for non-Maven users, so they
need to be in a new artifact.
Possibly change parent to be a jar?
But having them in a jar would be a bit of a pain.
How do Maven applications manage configuration files normally?
