title: Specify common resources in a multi-module maven project
body: <p>Is there any way to share resources between modules of a parent project in Maven? For example, I would like to specify one log4j.properties file for all the modules in a multi-module Maven project.</p>
  
  <p>Generally, I use Eclipse IDE to create the parent project by choosing a general project and then convert it to a Maven project by specifying a packaging of <code>pom</code>. This creates a "clean" project structure without <code>src</code> and etc. folders. I wonder where such a shared resource should be put in this case.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT1</strong>: I would like to put the common resources in the parent project.</p>
