I believe that assembly plugin could be used. Also could run ant targets

These configs are not used by the modules themselves (and are not packed inside jars), just by the their clients. If I have another web app or client app, I'll have to make these config available for this app too, that's why I don't want to store configs inside web app module. I need a way to copy the configs to some place of client application (now it is web app). The configs are of different kind - hivemind descriptors, properties files etc. Now I want them to be placed in web-inf/classes of web module. It seems I need somehow to copy them while compile web app phase (i don't know how, I'm not very skilled with maven :) ) I've recently found that war plugin can be configured to use external resources(which are beyond src/main/resources), which can fix my problem. But maybe there is another approach, more generic (if I have another client,not web app) ? Thanks! > > Hi, > > Why is having your property files inside the jar annoying?
