Making maven copy additional files inside the build jar (not resources but any file inside any package)?

Question

I have a package org.myapp.mypackage with some ruby files (*.rb) and I need to include them in the generated build jar in the same package

Not sure if i understood the problem correctly, but if your Ruby files are packaged by maven and declared as a dependency, you can use the shade plugin to include the contents into the resulting jar file:

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-shade-plugin
    1.4
    
        
            package
            
                shade
            
            
                
                    
                        org.myapp.mypackage:mypackage
                    
                
                
                    
                        org.myapp.mypackage:mypackage
                        
                            org/my/package/*.rb
