read property file from a dependent project with maven

I have an issue when reading properties from a dependent project.

I have a core project, and my application has a dependency on it.

under classpath of core, it has file core.properties.

and my application need to read this property file, but it couldn't. It requires the core.properties in my classpath of my application, instead of core.

Is there an solution for that? One solution in my mind is that when I build my application.war, can I explictly declare that I want the core dependency be exploded?

Thanks for help!

What do you mean by "read this property file"?

Since it will be on the classpath it should be accessible with getClass().getResourceAsStream().

If you really need it as a file, you can use the Dependency plugin's unpack-dependencies goal to unpack particular files as part of the build process.
