EDIT
Ok I can be now more specific:
I have in my scr/main/resources a folder META-INF who contains services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor
My pom is still the same (with commented).
If I do "mvn clean install", the output jar will contains only the META-INF folder.
But if I rename the folder services, the output jar contains my classes and the META-INF folder with the new renamed folder and his content.
I have – I suppose – a easy question for regular maven2 users.
I have this simple pom for a simple subproject
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<!-- <targetPath>META-INF/services</targetPath> -->
<!-- </resource> -->
<!-- </resources> -->
</build>
<dependencies>
</dependencies>
</project>
My goal is simple:
I just want to copy my src/main/resources/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor file in the {root}/META-INF/services folder of my generated jar.
But if I uncomment the resource part, my jar will contains only a META-INF folder without class!
Could you help me?

This is a bug/feature in the maven compiler plugin..
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-97
A workaround is to disable annotation processing for the project containing the processor, -proc:none.
