Anyway, if I change my simple pom to this (note this is a brand new project, this pom.xml is the only thing in the directory, there is no parent pom--other than super--I have not modified the maven install or any settings file): <project...> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.redshiftsoft</groupId> <artifactId>redshift-pom</artifactId> <packaging>pom</packaging> <version>1.0.0</version> <reporting> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> </project> mvn help:describe -Dplugin=resources I still get: Name: Maven Resources Plugin Description: The Resources Plugin handles the copying of project resources to the output directory. There are two different kinds of resources: main resources and test resources. The difference is that the main resources are the resources associated to the main source code while the test resources are associated to the test source code. Thus, this allows the separation of resources for the main source code and its unit tests.
