.dat files not packaged in jar in Netbeans

I have a maven Java project projA that build into a jar. I have another maven Web project projB that holds a dependency of projA.

In proj A one of my classes accesses the resources located in the packages in projA.

When I expand the jar shown under dependencies in projB, I see that it does not contain the resource files (.dat).

What setting I need to do to copy these files into the jar when I build my projA in Netbeans

I am using NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 / Java 1.8

Solution

  • In your pom.xml, include something along the line like this:

    <build>
    <resources>
        <resource>
            <filtering>false</filtering>
            <directory>src/main/java</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.dat</include>
            </includes>
            <excludes>
                <exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </resource>
    </resources>
