Hi,
I am having some problems that I expected to be common, however I
could not find a solution online for either.
I want create a maven project for a swing application. My IDE is
Eclipse. In order to run, the application needs to read a a couple of
text configuration files, which are located in a "params" directory,
in the root directory of the application. So, if ${root} id the
application directory, these files should be in ${root}/params.
Furthermore, the application needs to log into the directory ${root}/log.
Until now, without Maven, I had created the directories params and log
(log was in .cvsignore) in my Eclipse project directory. Every time
the project was run, the two directories were found and used.
Now, Maven puts its classes in target/classes. In order to run the
project from within the IDE, I have put the two directories in the
"resources" directory. So, when I compile the project, they are put
inside the target directory, along with the classes and everything
works. This placing, however, will put them also in the jar file of
the project, which I would not like, since the configuration files in
the params directory are supposed to be changes by the user.
What is the correct (by-the-book) placing of the files if I need to be
able run my project as before, from within the IDE? Are there any
additional steps, like using the assembly plugin to create the
directory structure?
This is probably a best practices issue.
Any suggestions / ideas are welcome.
Best regards,
Markos Fragkakis

Any suggestions? I believe this is an issue other people have as well,
and many would benefit if solutions, or even a discussion is documented.
Thanks,
