Specifying resource directories

By default, Maven will look for your project's resources under src/main/resources.

Project
|-- pom.xml
`-- src
    `-- main
        `-- resources

However, all your resources may not be in src/main/resources. Thus, you'd have to specify those directories by adding the following to your POM.

<project>
 ...
 <build>
   ...
   <resources>
     <resource>
       <directory>[your folder here]</directory>
     </resource>
   </resources>
   ...
 </build>
 ...
</project>

So if your resources resides in src/my-resources

Project
|-- pom.xml
`-- src
    `-- my-resources

you can specify that directory by doing the following:

<project>
   ...
   <resources>
     <resource>
       <directory>src/my-resources</directory>
     </resource>
   </resources>
   ...
</project>

Furthermore, you can have several directories by adding multiple <resource> elements:

<project>
   ...
   <resources>
     <resource>
       <directory>resource1</directory>
     </resource>
     <resource>
       <directory>resource2</directory>
     </resource>
     <resource>
       <directory>resource3</directory>
     </resource>
   </resources>
   ...
</project>
