Hi Ernie,
I hear what you're saying about the empty directory. I kept the artifact in the
src/main and manually copied it to the target/classes tree after the build.
However, "Run Main Project" tends to rebuild and wipe the "target" sub-tree
(because I am missing the nb-javac plugin), which then leads to a runtime error
due to missing artifact. Currently, I going through Maven documentation to
figure out a way (I recall seeing a Maven plugin somewhere) to copy this file
from "main/src" to "target/classes" as the last step in the build and I believe
this will circumvent my issue.
Thanks as always for your insight

The developer can put the resources where they belong for the maven
build system when the developer initially adds them.

The FXML project has resources, so it creates the directory and puts the
resources there; the other project type does not does not have resources
and so does not create the directory. You're suggesting creating empty
directories, which SCM will get rid of.
Just create the directory when you need it. (I kind of agree with you,
but there are so many valid directory structures for a project... The
SCM issue is the clincher, empty directories do not stay around) If you
don't know where the resources are supposed to go, then having some
directory hanging around won't help anyway.
