I had the same issue... and I didn't want to set the extra resources in the build section of the pom, because i didn't want to include them in my jar.
I think this has to do with the version of the maven-resources-plugin that you have installed. If you run "maven -U" to update to the latest version of all dependencies, it should solve the problem. Or you can explicitly set the version to 2.3: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> <executions> <execution>...</execution> </executions </plugin> zorro2b wrote: > > I am converting a project to use Maven.
