I developed a pom that creates a war file and a jar file. How do I insert a properties file into the JAR(not the war)? The file I need to insert into the JAR is located in the directory, properties/its, within the project. You can see in the pom below in the maven-resources-plugin where I have attempted to add the properties file in the package phase with the associated jar goal. Then I tried again in the maven-jar-plugin, using the process-resources phase and jar goal.
