Answer 1

By default maven does not include any files from "src/main/java".

You have two possible way to that.

1. put all your resource files (different than java files) to "src/main/resources" - this is highly recommended

2. Add to your pom (resource plugin):

           src/main/resources
        
            
                src/main/java
                
                    **/*.xml
