Resources aren't "compiled". See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/include-exclude.html for information on how to exclude resource files. Justin

But I don't want that, so I tried : <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>1.6</source> <target>1.4</target> <encoding>UTF-8</encoding> <excludes> <exclude>**/faces-config.xml</exclude> </excludes> </configuration> </plugin> But this doesn't work. Looking at the trace of maven however I can see : (f) excludes = [**/src/main/resources/*] So I don't understand. Could somebody help ?
