Curtis is right about this but as he said later:

IMO this is an anti-pattern in Maven. If someone gets the source code
to build *just* this module, they will be unable to build it
independent of anything else.
Instead, you set up another module that exists solely to contain these
configuration files and then pull it in as a dependency where you need
them. Use dependency:unpack to put the files where you need them or
the proper assembly configuration.
