Hello,
I have a Maven project with resource files in src/main/resources. Currently
the jar file generated includes the resources in the jar but I'd like them
outside of the jar file ideally in the same directory as the jar file so I
added the <resources> section to my pom.xml as follows:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>it.myapp</mainClass>
</manifest>
<manifestEntries>
<Class-Path>.</Class-Path>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<targetPath>..</targetPath>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
The problem is when I attempt to clean and build, my JUnit tests fail due
to an exception:
Caused by: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base
name MessageResourceBundle, locale en_US
at
java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(ResourceBundle.java:1499)
at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(ResourceBundle.java:1322)
at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(ResourceBundle.java:724)
If I remove the <resources> section, the clean and build is successful but
my resources files are inside the jar. I want them on the outside.
I verified the above in a separate test project without a message resource
bundle so the problem is with the bundle but why? How do I fix this?
