Maven Assembly Plugin : Resources are not copied as expected

I am using maven assembly to build my java application and package it as a JAR file. The resources are located in src/main/resources and they are not copied to the created JAR file.
The POM.XML is like this:
<build>
<pluginManagement><!-- lock down plugins versions to avoid using Maven defaults (may be moved to parent pom) -->
<plugins>
<!-- clean lifecycle, see https://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-core/lifecycles.html#clean_Lifecycle -->

Please let me know how can I fix this! I tried to use Resource tag, but it did not work.

maven-failsafe-plugin not running integration tests

I'm working on getting an integration test working but for some reason maven-failsafe-plugin is not running.
Below is the profile being used for the integration test.
And the name of the test class is AppSmokeTestIT.java.
#Test is being used for the tests.

I have looked at multiple post about this issue and >have done the following
I've tried just running the plugin in build tags.
I've tried adding
<includes>
<include>**/*IT.java</include>
</includes>
I've also tried running maven-failsafe-plugin version 2.18.1 instead as I saw someone with this issue suggesting it worked for them.

Sorry for wasting your time guys.
Had a brain fart yesterday and realised this morning that I didn't have the required profile selected when running the clean install.

Issues with creating a jar file

I am trying to create a jar file of my Java Maven project. I tried searching quite a bit but I can't seem to make it work.
The error i get is "no main manifest attribute in path to the jar".
I use this plugin to create the jar and then later build it.

</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
My main class is called simply Main and it is shown in the MANIFEST.MF file as Main-Class: Main which I think should be correct.
I appreciate every piece of advice, thank you.

This is my configures .maybe is helpful

A few comments on your configuration:
1) It seems you have an invalid XML for plugins. According to documentation, it should be something like this:
<project>
[...]
<build>
[...]
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>Main</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
[...]
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
2) The mainClass tag should contain your full qualified main class e.g. com.your.package.Main. Unless your Main class is not under any package, you might want to change that.

Maven Compiler Plugin Error (maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1:testCompile)

ALSO i may add that i have 3 projects in the workspace and every single one displays the same error in the pom.xml file
SOLUTION
This is what worked for me. Its not very clear why..

Try adding this to your POM if you are using m2Eclipse which seem like it.
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<!--This plugin's configuration is used to store Eclipse
m2e settings only. It has no influence on the Maven build itself. -->
<plugin>

<execute />
</action>
</pluginExecution>
</pluginExecutions>
</lifecycleMappingMetadata>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
On the official site you can find more answers.
EDIT: Did you change the pluginExecutionFilter?
It should contain your plugin info.
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
And then change the goals to fit you need too

If you are using Eclipse you should be able to hover over the red error and it will give you a couple of quick fix options. One of them adds some xml to the pom to suppress that message. That's how I always fix this.

I think your probleme is exec-maven-plugin , why you do:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<configuration>
<mainClass>org.test.int1.Main</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Move it with profil for example.

maven copy dependecies not working

This question ha sbeen asked but none of the solutions worked for me so:
I want to copy my jars which are specified through the dependency tags in the build of POM.xml:
<dependency>
...
</dependency>
into a folder like target/lib
pom.xml:

<defaultGoal>install</defaultGoal>
<directory>${basedir}/target</directory>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>

Like i said, nothing is copied at all. But according to some Q&A on this portal it should work.
Any ideas?

You are declaring your plugins in your <pluginManagement> section. This is all well and good, but if want them to execute you need to declare them outside the <pluginManagement> section:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
...
</pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>addjars-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Think of <pluginManagement> in the same way you think of <dependencyManagement>, but for plugins.

Add in goal like below based on your plugin
mvn clean install dependency:copy-dependencies

Try to replace :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>Swapper</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
