Hi Robert, Oliver's proposal seems fine to me.
Whatever file you put in the resources directory will just get copied byte-for-byte. So if you want a zero-sized file, put a zero-sized file there. If you want a valid jar with no contents, then create one and put it in the resources dir. What are you trying to achieve that this doesn't do?
