why xml files in eclipse project's source directory is not copied to target/classes directory?
this issue is not the same as MyBatis 3.0.5 and mappers loading problem and How to suppress Maven "Unable to find resource" messages?
i have xml files in org.org.wpse.db.config.db.config package, but why i cannot find these xml files in target/classes/org/wpse/db/config/ directory even after i run mvn compile.
this error leads to the following faillure when i use mybatis:
Could not find resource
the issue which lead to this error is that the .xml files are not copied to the build dir, even i when i used mvn compile explicitly
Maven is by default looking for resource files i.e. *.xml, *.properties and etc. in src/main/resources directory. It is recommended to put your resource files under here.
However, nothing prevent you from putting resource files somewhere else, for instance, src/main/java/org/wpse/db/config/, as some people prefer to put resource files along with class file under special package, you just need a little more configuration in pom.xml:
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<!-- This include everything else under src/main/java directory -->
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/java</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</resources>
... ...
</build>
