With maven - clean package, xml source files are not included in classpath

Question

So it seems that Maven package is setup by default to compile but not copy xml files in the java classpath, unless they\'re already there. In Eclipse, I created the simplest

By default maven does not include any files from "src/main/java" (${sourceDirectory} variable). You have two possibilities (choose one of them):

• put all your resource files (different than java files) to "src/main/resources" - recomended

• Add to your pom (example from gwt plugin):

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