maven-jar-plugin, include upper dir

Question

Build part of POM

<plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.2</version>
            <configuration>
               <classesDirectory>./</classesDirectory>
               <includes>
                  <include>*.wsdl</include>
                  <include>*.xsd</include>
                  <include>sources/</include>
                  <include>../configuration.doc</include>
               </includes>
            </configuration>
         </plugin>

In target jar I have all wsdl from root dir, xsds from root dir and sources dir.
But no configuration.doc file in jar.

Any ideas?

You should move the configuration.doc into the appropriate directory like src/main/resources.

Sou you start fighting against Maven but you will loose the combat. But furthermore why have you located the configuration.doc in a different location and the sources folder looks the same. The question is: Why don't you like to move it? Your personal tast or do you have a particular reason? – khmarbaise Jul 12 '12 at 09:45
This config file lay with parent pom file in all projects. And many script use this config files. So i can't move it – Ilya Jul 12 '12 at 10:33

Ok. Thats is by idea wrong. This means it's a resource which is used by others. Anyway. You can solve that problem by using the maven-assembly-plugin an repackaging the jar file and adding the configuration.doc file. You are working outside of the Maven conventions. – khmarbaise Jul 12 '12 at 10:53

How about adding the relevant folder from where you want the .doc to be picked up to your project pom using maven resources plugin - specifically the <resources> configuration - there are examples here. This will make the contents available to the jar plugin.
