I am developing maven project using Spring boot and JSF. According to this example, the managed bean .class files should be put into /src/webapp/WEB-INF/classes directory, to be shown on JFS views. This is achieved by adding outputDirectory tag to pom.xml:
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
<outputDirectory>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes</outputDirectory>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${spring.boot.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<version>${maven-compiler-plugin.version}</version>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>${java.source.version}</source>
<target>${java.target.version}</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven-war-plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<encoding>${project.build.sourceEncoding}</encoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
But, I have noticed that except *.class files, there is also stored content of src/main/resources directory: i18n folder, templates folder, *.sql files, application.properties etc….
My question: How to exclude these unnecessary files/folders from /src/webapp/WEB-INF/classes directory?

Just add the file you dont want to the maven exludes.
