I've just started using Maven in NetBeans. However, I can't seem to figure out why src/main/resources is not included on the classpath when I run the project using Run / Run Main Config. From what I can see, only /target/classes/ is included in the classpath, in addition to JARs from dependencies.

My impression was that src/main/resources is a standard location and should always be in the classpath, but this is not the case here. What am I doing wrong?

By default, the Maven Resources plugin will copy resource files from src/main/resources to target/classes, so they should still be available on the classpath.

yes, but the IDE build can do it too. not sure about netbeans, but IDEA's build/maven integration does it automatically...
@iangreen: While that's true, it's not usually a good idea to rely solely on IDE behavior to successfully build a project. Delegating this to a Maven plugin ensures that the project can be successfully built in CI or by any developer familiar with Maven, regardless of the other tools they may be using.
I am clueless as to how to use the above plugin in Netbeans... can you give some directions?
