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?
