selenium-maven : how to load Firefox or browser driver from resource folder

I am working in Selenium. It is demo project. I am using maven for dependency management. I have downloaded the Gecko driver and has kept to folder location in local drive. But it will create a dependency to with local machine.

We have have folder in maven, called resource. I want to use that. I want to keep the Firefox driver there and want to load it from here.

        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "E:/Drive_H/projects/selenium/src/main/resources/geckodriver-firefox.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.get(baseUrl);
        
        driver.close();
    }
}

I have tried with this line but error : unable to load driver.

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "geckodriver-firefox.exe");

Use System.getProperty("user.dir") to get the project user directory path and then access the desired executable.

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\src\\main\\resources\\geckodriver-firefox.exe");
