In maven, what is the difference between main/resources and main/config?

Question

I want to put a configuration file in my Maven project. Looking at the standard directory layout, there are two places that seem sensible, \"src/main/resources\

Answer 1

scr/main/resources is a place where you put your images, sounds, templates, language bundles, textual and binary files used by the source code. All config files like excache.xml, log4j.properties, logback.xml and others go to src/main/config.

Add to your pom.xml:

    
        
            .
            src/main/config
