Maven/GWT - How to access resources in the resources folder?

[Magnus]

Hello,

I would like to follow the Maven conventions and place my resources into the resources folder.

How can I access a file in the resources folder server-side so that I have an InputStream then?

My projects were created with maven and webAppCreator, and they do not contain a resources folder. So I have to create it.

What's the standard location? src/main/resources?

Thanks
Magnus

Thanks, this describes the standard directory layout.

If the src/main/directory doesn't exist: Can I simply create it or do I also have to declare it somewhere in the pom?

Just create it. If you stick to maven conventions like the standard directory layout you do not have to configure it.

Remove <build> <resources>*</resources> section.

Try to follow maven convention. The resources for GWT web app should be placed in public folder, see http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideOrganizingProjects.html#DevGuideDirectoriesPackageConventions 

For ui binder xml files, I put them in java src folder (I can't make Eclipse works if I put in resources folder)

Ok, I created the directory src/main/resources and added some xml files there.

But they don't get into the jar file...

Below is my pom.xml.

What's wrong?
