how do I get resources in my jar file?

[John Farrell]

I am running maven beta 10, and cannot get resources copied into my jar file. 
I have made extensive investigations. In the POM, I have this:

    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>${basedir}/src/res</directory>
        <includes>
          <include>*.properties</include>
        </includes>
      </resource>
    </resources>

I found this goal which seems to copy resources as I need:

  <goal name="java:jar-resources"
        description="Copy any resources that must be present in the deployed 
JAR file">

    <j:if test="${!pom.build.resources.isEmpty()}">
      <echo>${pom.build.resources}</echo>
      <resources:copy
        resources="${pom.build.resources}"
        todir="${maven.build.dest}"
      />
    </j:if>
  </goal>

Notice I have added an echo there, so when I do "maven java:jar-resources", I 
get:

java:jar-resources:
    [echo] [[dir = /home/john/mainline/mp-base/src/res]]
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

It looks to me as if the setting in the POM is accessible from 
java:jar-resources. But what calls java:jar-resources? java:jar does not, it 
just calls jar:jar. jar:jar does not. Nothing seems to, actually.

I tried adding a preGoal to maven.xml, 

    <preGoal name="jar:jar">
      <attainGoal name="java:jar-resources" />
    </preGoal>

but that didn't seem to achieve it, because there are still no resources in 
the jar. Could someone please advise on how it's supposed to work, and what 
I'm doing wrong? Thanks,

John
