Using Multiproject

When using multiproject to build subprojects, resources are not included in my artifacts. Why?
Use ${basedir} in your subproject's POM resource section:

                        
                                           <resources>
                                               <resource>
                                                   <directory>${basedir}/src/java</directory>
                                                   <includes>
                                                       <include>**/*.properties</include>
                                                   </includes>
                                               </resource>
                                           </resources>
                                   
                    

The resources won't be included if you just specify "src/java" as directory unless maven is started from within the subproject directory.
