M2: best way to include property file in a jar artifact?

I am using maven 2 and cannot find an example by which I can have a property file get put into my jar file. I have the property file sitting in with the java code in /src/main/java/com/ Is this best done via pom resource declaration or via pre-compile goals? Is there any complete examples
