in the sample project,
https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/master/sample.project.clj
on line 217, there is a directive for including non-code files : 
:resource-paths ["src/main/resource"] ; non-code files included in classpath/jar
I have a resources folder in my project and this line in my project.clj
:resource-paths ["resources"] ; non-code files included in classpath/jar
however, when I run lein jar to generate the .jar file, it does not package up the resources folder.
Is there something that I am missing?
