<div class="entry-content">
<p>The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the<br />
<a href="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin">Apache Maven Resources Plugin, Version 3.1.0</a>.</p>
<p>The Resources Plugin handles the copying of project resources to the output<br />
directory. There are two different kinds of resources: main resources and test<br />
resources. The difference is that the main resources are the resources<br />
associated to the main source code while the test resources are associated to<br />
the test source code.</p>
<p>Thus, this allows the separation of resources for the main source code and its<br />
unit tests.</p>
<p>Important Note:</p>
<ul>
<li>Maven 3.X only</li>
<li>JDK 7 minimum requirement</li>
</ul>
