I need an example pom file to create a jar file for my spring project. how to specify to create a directory and folder for resources while creating jar file. I can able to create jar file using the pom. But i need to include my applicationContext.xml in my jar file.
how to do it in maven?
In order to compile the project into an executable jar, please run Maven with mvn clean package command.
To create a JAR file from a Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA, go to the Maven Tool Window (View → Tool Windows → Maven), expand your project in the tree, expand Lifecycle, and then double-click on package. Maven will compile your package, and the compiled JAR file will be written to the target/ directory.
A Project Object Model or POM is the fundamental unit of work in Maven. It is an XML file that contains information about the project and configuration details used by Maven to build the project.
Open the Jar File wizard In the Package Explorer select the items that you want to export. If you want to export all the classes and resources in the project just select the project. Click on the File menu and select Export. In the filter text box of the first page of the export wizard type in JAR.
how to do this is explained here
the post details this pom, it uses the maven-jar-plugin to do it and I have written many poms in a previous job that look almost identical to this. Hope this helps

Maven uses convention over configuration, and consequently all standard Maven projects have the same folder structure. Since the application context file is a resource you should put it int the src/main/resources
folder (or one of its sub-folders).
