Hi Erik.
you can configure Maven with an extra "resources" folder.
http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Resources
We usually keep our descriptors under "src/main/resources" to have them on the
classpath. But we do not care about being PEAR compatible. So adding "desc" as
a resources folder in your POM is probably the right thing for you.
