How to add resources to the classpath of Maven plugins?

I've got a Maven plugin that depends on slf4j for logging. The default behavior is too chatty for my liking but I can't figure out how to add my logback.xml to the plugin's classpath.

<plugin>
  <dependencies>
  </dependencies>
</plugin>

allows you to add dependencies to the plugin's classpath, but how do you add local (resource) directories?

You have to wrap your logback.xml into a proper Maven artifact (i.e. a jar) and install it to local repository or deploy to your shared repository, or use systemPath in your dependency declaration to point to a jar placed somewhere inside of your project, which is highly not recommended.

The reason for this is reusability of your build. Think how others would be able to reproduce it.

You don't. You must package them up as an artifact and add it as a dependency.
