java - Maven: include files in JAR's META-INF -

i'm using maven build java project, , i've got couple files, changelog , license, i'd copy meta-inf directory inside jar file.

so far i've got working following:

<build>     <resources>         <resource>             <directory>${project.basedir}</directory>             <includes>                 <include>changelog</include>                 <include>license</include>             </includes>             <targetpath>meta-inf</targetpath>         </resource>     </resources>     <plugins>         ... 

but copies 2 files classes/meta-inf directory when compiling.

so i'd files included in jar file, else. there way this?

you don't need specify custom maven configuration address need.
in src/main/resources, creating meta-inf folder , place files here.
in way, find them in meta-inf folder of built jar.

besides, should remove <resource> element added in pom.xml since changes default resource folder root of project instead of default src/main/resources.
