Specify common resources in a multi-module maven project

Question

Is there any way to share resources between modules of a parent project in Maven? For example, I would like to specify one log4j.properties file for all the modules in a mul

Answer 1

Yes, it seems as a possible solution. But I was interested whether it is possible to specify these resources in the parent project (without introducing additional module) since the parent project specifies all the common dependencies and Maven configurations for the child modules, I think that the parent project is the most suitable place also for the common resources.

In case of packaging type pom , when goal package specified to manage your shared resources, just add next (check folders) into build section of pom file :

        
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-resources-plugin
       
           
               copy-config-files
               package
               
                   copy-resources
               
               
                   ${project.build.directory}/logconfig
                   
                       
                        false
                        ${project.basedir}/src/main/resources
