Hi All,

I have a java application for exaple see below.

myProject
  |
  |----src
  |     |
  |     |--main
  |     |
  |     |--resources
  |           |   
  |           |--userConfig.properties
  |           |--log4j.properties
  |
  |---target

I am using Maven to build my project .I am using maven command to build jar file.

mvn package -DMaven.test.skip=true

I want to exclude userConfig.properties file from my jar file so i have mentioned in pom.xml as below.

<excludes>
        <exclude>**/userConfig.properties</exclude>        
  </excludes>

but it will exclude from the target folder in which compile code resides. And Application will not run because it will not find the userConfig.properties.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks Nisarg Mehta
