Or is it just my IntelliJ IDEA's voluntary behavior? I have 8 files, each 3.5 GiB in size and IDEA copies them from src/main/resources into target/classes/resources during the make task. Is it possible to avoid such a behaviour?

    If you don't want the resources to be copied, why do you have them there at all? And no, the Java specification doesn't give any details about the build procedure, really. – Jon Skeet Dec 11 '13 at 16:53

The resources directory is for files that get built into the .jar output.

For large files, you should probably store them outside the resources directory and outside the .jar file.

  • It's that I'm currently running some performance tests about some particular subject and haven't chosen any directory structure yet, so I'm using quick-and-dirty variants as for now. – tkroman Dec 11 '13 at 17:13
