.jar with Maven and Eclipse

Question

I have a java project done with Eclipse and Maven with this estructure folder: enter image description here

Ok, when i make a Maven install to create the .jar take this structure folder:

So that the hierarchy is not the same and links to the images and css do not work.

I show you the code of pom.xml

enter code here

http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> 4.0.0 com.wepall palle 0.4.0 com.thoughtworks.xstream xstream com.thoughtworks.xstream xstream 1.4.9 palle

                <execution>
                    <id>make-assembly</id>
                    <!-- bind to the packaging phase -->

                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

    </plugins>
</build>

Any ideas?

thanks a lot!! Best regards

Yes, sorry, mi problem is about the herarky folder of the .jar, I explain you, — wepall, May 24 '16 at 15:52
When I make the .jar does not make the hierarchy that has the project, the original structure of src is src\main\java\com\wepall\palle and src\main\resources and the final is that is inside the java´s folder and the resource´s folder are in the same folder, in root. When what it would have to be a java´s folder and inside a com folder (with classes), and other resources and inside the folders css, Images, lib, Projects, RobotFiles. — wepall, May 24 '16 at 16:22
Why? because the classes that I use images and css are 5 jumps backwards (../../../../../resources/fondo.css) view-> palle-> wepall-> com-> java -> main and then resouces -> CSS-> fondo.css. — wepall, May 24 '16 at 16:22

I think that you should create a war instead of a jar, because you are talking about css and images and jars should not contains that kind of files (see jar vs war).

In maven you only need to change the <packaging> of the project inside the POM.

You should add a build section to your pom.xml:

<build>
        <directory>${basedir}/target</directory>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <targetPath>${basedir}/target/resources</targetPath>
                <directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
            </resource>
        </resources>
</build>

Further Reference: POM Reference (Build Section)

Thank you very much for the reply, with this code now the target is well constructed, but not the .jar, the resources is not inside on the .jar – wepall May 25 '16 at 06:34
Solved! with the same code but with: ${basedir}/target/classes/resources now the jar has the same folder´s hierarchy than the project. Thanks a lot for your help!!!! – wepall May 25 '16 at 08:49
