Hi Jeff,
Try the following:
After the </plugins> add this
<sourceDirectory>JAVA_SOURCE_DIRECTORY</sourceDirectory>
<outputDirectory>target/classes</outputDirectory>
<testOutputDirectory>target/testclasses</testOutputDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>JAVA_SOURCE_DIRECTORY</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
<exclude>YOUR_FILE.properties</exclude>
</excludes>
<includes>
<include>**/*.properties</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
My current build uses this approach and works. You can pm me if you need
more help.
