# 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.
