Hi, I found also that it wasn't clear at first glance.
What I understood : - Use resources directory if you want to have yours properties/configurations files in your package, for example log4j.xml - Use config directory if yours configuration files are just needed for the build process, for example checkstyle.xml Is it clear enough ? It would be nice to update the documentation in order to clarifier this point http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html Rémy
