How to add a folder (and it's content) to the root of a Jar file with Maven in compile time?

Question

I need to copy the content of the example folder under : src/main/resources/example to the root of the generated jar file by maven

The problem seems to be with spring-boot-maven-plugin which generates this under BOOT-INF folder inside the jar.

<resources>
    <resource>
        <targetPath>example</targetPath>                           
        <directory>${basedir}/src/main/resource/example</directory>
    </resource>
</resource>

I expect the content under the example folder to be compiled to jar's root Actual: Actual behavior

Please remove 'maven-plugin' tag. (Hover over a tag to see what it is for) — peterh, Aug 28 '19 at 18:07

Please remove any spring-boot plugin and only use resources tag as explained in the comment.

<resources>
 <resource>
   <targetPath>Where_you want_loc</targetPath>
</resource></resources>

Instead of copy the folder to the JAR, why you don't acess the folder there where it is?

Java: Acess and read all files in a folder

I hope this help you...
