Maven war plugin - including other files in WAR

I am building an Maven based Java web-app. In my src/main/java/package folder I have a .xml file and a .properties file that needs to be included as a part of my war. However when I look at the war file that gets generated (using a maven install) this does not include the .xml and the .properties file. It only contains the .class files from the package.

Is there anyway of including these files in the war ?

In addition, I also checked under the target/classes folder, here again the .xml and .properties files are not included.

Put your .xml file and .properties file in resources folder of your project, by default Maven will pick it up from there.

Little more googling around stackoverflow got me the answer. I just had to change the default resources folder for maven as outline in the following stackoverflow question Why does maven not copy the properties files during the build process?.
