How to copy file from Parent POM into Maven Project - maven

Question

I want to have a Parent Maven project that has two files.
src/license/LICENSE.txt
src/license/NOTICE.txt
When I build my main Project, that references it as a Parent POM, I want those files to be included in the produced JAR.
I know I can use...
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<targetPath>META-INF</targetPath>
<directory>src/license</directory>
<includes>
<include>NOTICE.txt</include>
<include>LICENSE.txt</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
But this will only work when the files are located in main Project, not when they are in the Parent project.

I found a solution to this.
First, create a new repo to hold the items you want to be copied in.
The POM of this should contain this (GAV details are com.jeff:base-pom-license)...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>bundle</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/*.txt</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Then in your Base pom add this...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<configuration>
<resourceBundles>
<resourceBundle>com.jeff:base-pom-license:${project.version}</resourceBundle>
</resourceBundles>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>process</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This will cause the files you have in the new maven repo to be included in all the places that extend the base pom.
