Hi,

one option is to extract the B jar using the dependency plugin:
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>expand common JSP fragments</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
            </goals>
            <phase>generate-resources</phase>
            <configuration>
              <includeGroupIds>your.group.id</includeGroupIds>
              <includeArtifactIds>yourArtifactId</includeArtifactIds>
              <excludeTransitive>true</excludeTransitive>
              <includes>**/*.xml</includes>

<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated-resources</outputDirectory>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

adapt this a bit, add a dependency to the artifact your.group.id:yourArtifactId (where your shared resources are placed in src/main/resources) and off you go.

HTH,

Hi!

Is it possible to directly include in a jar (lets call it A.jar)
class/resource files from other module (lets call it B.jar). ? What I have
is 5 jars/modules that need to have exactly the same property/xml files
inside them, so I would like to keep the resources in a separate module, in
one place, and just include them in 5 jars.

Thanks for any help,
Anne

PS. Please don't be cryptic, I'm very new to maven ;)
