IIRC resources aren't inherited from the top level pom down to the
module poms. That's why i had to add them to each pom separately.
I wasn't sure either when I asked his question, but I just tried it on a couple projects. I just tried it in the parent excalibur POM and a few projects, and looks like the LICENSE file is correctly copied in the META-INF/ directory of the JAR correctly. Some tests that need conf files copied in the test-classes dir are working OK too. I'll try the entire multiproject build tomorrow and check the pom(s) in.
