Include XSD in Jar with Maven?

Question

We have an XSD file along with some java src files. How can we instruct Maven to include the XSD in the jar file output? Currently it appears to ignore the file.

Answer 1

Put the XSD file under src/main/resources folder. This should be enough. By default all files under this directory are copied to target/classes directory and from there are picked up by maven-jar-plugin by default.
