title: How can I include a folder in the jar produced by Maven (not the content of the folder, the actual folder)
body: <p>I'm having some difficulty including a directory into the jar maven is creating. I need the actual directory in the jar, not just the files in it. 
  By using: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;resources&gt;
   &lt;resource&gt;
    &lt;directory&gt;etc&lt;/directory&gt;
   &lt;/resource&gt;
  &lt;/resources&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>only the contents of the etc directory are included in the jar, not the actual directory. Is there a simple solution for this, ideally without using another plugin?
  Any feedback is appreciated. 
  Thanks. </p>
