Standard maven layout for a web application, do my .properties files go?

Question

Assuming I have a .properties file and hibernate.cfg.xml in a standard maven web application layout where should they be placed so that they are included in my .war file when I run package?

src/main/resources

src/main/java

src/main/webapp

src/main/config

?

Answer 1

Application/Library resources go in src/main/resources (they will end up in target/classes first after compilation and then in WEB-INF/classes in the war after packaging).
