title: Can I package a single text file as a text file in a maven repo?
body: <p>I have a single configuration file which I would like to include as a dependency in a maven pom.xml.  I want to keep around several versions of this, and have it appear in the classpath.  I realize I could wrap it in a jar, but others in my team would like to easily inspect its contents.  Looking at the  types allowed in the pom.xml, I only see things like pom, jar, war, ear, ...  Basically just archives of some sort.  So I'm wondering what the pom.xml might look like to package a single file.  I would imaging the maven artifacts on inspecting the server to be something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>myconfig-0.0.1.cfg
  myconfig-0.0.1.cfg.md5
  myconfig-0.0.1.cfg.sha1
  myconfig-0.0.1.pom
  myconfig-0.0.1.pom.md5
  myconfig-0.0.1.pom.sha1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So is this possible?  What would the pom.xml look like?</p>
