getClass().getResourceAsStream() in maven project

Question

The pom.xml of my maven project looks as follows:

Answer 1

Under <build><resources> make sure to have the <include> as below This will explicitly tell maven to fetch these files and include it in the build.

   <build>
     <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*</include>
            </includes>
        </resource>
     </resources>
     ...
  </build>

Answer 2

I got this error but through ton of Googling, I could not find the solution. All the answers are about the path, nobody cares that It can run in Eclipse but not in exported jar file :(

But now I found solution, so simple: In Eclipse right click on your maven project-> Properties -> Java build path -> Source Tab

You can see a tree like :

MyProject/src
   Ouput follder..
   Included (**/*.java)
   Excluded
   ...

Double click on Included (**/*.java), remove the existing one so It become Included (All) Now export the jar file :)

I was facing this same problem.

When you are trying to get the resource like this:
getClass().getResourceAsStream("test")

You are trying to find the resource relative to that package.

To get the resource from the src/main/resources directory, you have to put a slash before the resource name.
getClass().getResourceAsStream("/test")
