Maven resource files, put java class files and property files in same directory
Solution 1
For the Maven reasons, you should place properties file into src/main/resources, not in src/main/java directory (keeping the same subfolder structure).
That being said, to get what you want you need to replace (in your pom.xml) src
with src/main/java
. Not tested, but if you have problems please share.
Solution 2
First you should place your resources into src/main/resources/com/berlin/Test.properties and your java source files into src/main/java/com/berlin/Test.java...Never put compiled classes into src/ folder... furthermore you should remove the configuration:
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
<sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory>
<testSourceDirectory>test</testSourceDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src</directory>
<includes>
<include>**</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</resources>
from your pom, cause you don't need it and furthermore it's wrong (Convention over configuration paradigm!). Take a look at the default folder layout in maven.
The Maven Way is to put the source files (*.java) into src/main/java, the resources src/main/resources. The unit test classes src/test/java and src/test/resources after compiling it will be put into target/classes or for the tests target/test-classes.

I have java class files and property files in the same directory.
src/main/java/com/berlin/Test.class
src/main/java/com/berlin/Test.properties
With the maven jar I build and the maven target, I want these to appear in the same directory. but maven is placing the class files and property files in different places when I do 'mvn package'.
.. Output: jar -tvf file.jar:
Sat Jun 11 08:24:32 EDT 2011 main/java/com/berlin/Test.properties
I want: Sat Jun 11 08:24:32 EDT 2011 com/berlin/Test.properties Sat Jun 11 08:24:32 EDT 2011 com/berlin/Test.class
...
Part of my pom:
<build> <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName> <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory> <testSourceDirectory>test</testSourceDirectory> <resources> <resource> <directory>src</directory> <includes> <include>**</include> </includes> <excludes> <exclude>**/*.java</exclude> </excludes> </resource> </resources> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>${java.source.version}</source> <target>${java.target.version}</target> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <skipTests>true</skipTests> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins>
