IntelliJ: how to make non java files copied to the bin directory as well?

Question

My module contains some non java files along the java source files. When the module is built, the java files are copied to the bin folder (and included in the jar artifact), but the non java files are left out.

I need them to be copied as well (this is what Eclipse does). Note, that they do appear in the project tree view on the left, I did not exclude them in any way.

How can I make them get into the bin folder (jar artifact)?

Thanks.

Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Compiler | Resource Patterns.

This question duplicates/relates to:

• copy jbehave stories into target directory using IntelliJ Idea
• IntelliJ, Akka and Configuration files
• IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.2 does not copy SQL files to the out folder
• Add a properties file to IntelliJ's classpath
• import images into an intelliJ Java project
• Intellij - how do I add a text file to the resources
• Null Pointer Exception for read properties file in Idea
• IntelliJ Idea - resource SQL files not being copied to target
• Scala getClass.getResource() returning null

Answer 2

On IDEA 14.1.4, the xml file in src/main/java/my/package folder is not copied. My compiler settings are !?*.java;!?*.form;!?*.class;!?*.groovy;!?*.scala;!?*.flex;!?*.kt;!?*.clj;!?*.aj.

I changed the gradle file by adding:

test {
    resources {
        srcDir 'src/main/java'
        include '**/*.xml'
    }
}

It starts working. I am not sure if I have missed anything, but I could not find that part reflected on project settings.

If you are working with Maven, the following code should have the same effect:

<build>
    <testResources>
        <testResource>
            <filtering>false</filtering>
            <directory>src/test/java</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.xml</include>
            </includes>
        </testResource>
        <testResource>
            <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
        </testResource>
    </testResources>
</build>

I posted it here as an answer, because it may help someone who has the same issue and the above answers may not work.

Uncheck use external build in project compiler setting.
