Problem loading resources while running in Eclipse

Question

I\'m working on a swing project, using maven2 (from command-line) and eclipse (without maven integration). So, I generate the eclipse project through maven eclipse plugi

Answer 1

Two possibles cases for me :

• You are using eclipse to compile your project. Then eclipse is configured to exclude (or not include) resources in the src folder. You can set it in Project/Properties/Java Build Path/Source. Then you expend your src folder, and ensure you have something like "Included All", "Excluded None".

• You run your maven application using maven to compile and not eclipse, even though you are using eclipse as your IDE. Then by default maven will not copy resources from the source folder to the output folder... Because it is not the standard maven way of doing things. Thus the resource are missing from the classpath and you don't find them. Just change your maven configuration to also include resources from your source folder.
