I've used Netbeans for some time, but not until now with Maven.
I'm trying to set up a scenario whereby two properties files (Log4J.properties, and another application-specific file) will be automatically copied to the target directory when the project is built. I also want them included in the classpath, so that the application can see them.
What I don't want, is for the properties files to be incorporated into the jar itself, as this would cause a pain for those wishing to edit the files.
I've followed these instructions, and everything almost works. The properties files are copied from src/main/resources to target, the Jar can be run successfully from a command line; however, I can no longer run the project in Netbeans, as it cannot see the properties files anymore.... I get
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found
, etc... What do I need to do so that Netbeans can see these properties files at run time?
Do I need to add a classpath setting here?
<manifestEntries>
<Class-Path>.</Class-Path>
</manifestEntries>
Or is there some setting within Netbeans itself?
