Re: best practice to include resources in the jar file and unpack them on target server
I'm actually very familiar with maven, and i read both better builds with maven and the definite guide. i wasn't aware that the jar auto packs the resources files as well. i removed the section of the jar plugin below, and i still see the files included: $ jar tf /usr/lib/ctch/java/IncreasePriority/IncreasePriority.jar META-INF/ META-INF/MANIFEST.MF com/ com/company/ com/company/url/ com/company/url/unknowns/ com/company/url/unknowns/IncreasePriority.class increase-priority.properties increase-priority.cron META-INF/maven/ META-INF/maven/com.company.url.unknowns/ META-INF/maven/com.company.url.unknowns/IncreasePriority/ META-INF/maven/com.company.url.unknowns/IncreasePriority/pom.xml META-INF/maven/com.company.url.unknowns/IncreasePriority/pom.properties so to my original question, how to i copy the files from the jar after i install it on the target server?

Extract the resource files from the JAR-File using 'jar' or 'zip' utilities, and copy them to the location where you want them to be. This is not related to maven any more. There was actually a thread about something similar two days ago... and while searching for it, I found that you were the original poster.

Re: best practice to include resources in the jar file and unpack them on target server
I don't agree with the conception that uber (or fat) jar is the way to go. IMO, you loose all the advantages maven dependency supplies if you do so (as i mentioned, you need to install all your application in case you change one line of code in one of your infrastructure jars..) i know maven isn't supposed to be used for deployment, but with a little open mind and flexibility, it can be done.

Re: best practice to include resources in the jar file and unpack them on target server
I've had a similar problem. What you can do is to use the assembly plugin to create a separate zip or jar of your extra resources, attach the created archive to the build with a different classifier, and extract this artifact with the dependency plugin's unpack goal.
