org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin

3.5.0apache/maven-resources-plugin ↗New releases in your daily digest, changelog included.

The Resources Plugin handles the copying of project resources to the output directory. There are two different kinds of resources: main resources and test resources. The difference is that the main resources are the resources associated with the main source code while the test resources are associated with the test source code. Thus, this allows the separation of resources for the main source code and its unit tests.
