Jetty Maven plugin - Put properties file in classpath

I'm using the eclipse jetty plugin in my project: 

<groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>9.0.3.v20130506</version>

I have my application that read a file in the classpath of the server, but I can't manage to put it in the Jetty classpath...

I would to put it in a folder in my project and make that folder part of the Jetty classpath, how can I do it?
Is there a better solution to make that file external to the application?

Solution

  • It was just a matter of configuration of the maven plugin

    <configuration>
    <scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>
    <jettyXml>jetty/jetty.xml</jettyXml>
    <webApp>
        <extraClasspath>${basedir}/jetty/classpath</extraClasspath>
    </webApp>
</configuration>

    to add a classpath folder to Jetty, it needs the extraClasspath folder in the webApp tag.
