Reading properties files "inStream parameter is null"

I have read property files before and I realize there are many links on the topic but I think my properties file is not getting packaged correctly due to plug-ins. My Eclipse project has a properties file in src/main/resources called environment.properties. I have tried reading it through a method, even trying to declare the method as both static and non-static at different times:
static Properties properties = new Properties();
public void getClassPathProperties() {
LOGGER.debug("getClassPathProperties Enter");
try (final InputStream input = Utils.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("environment.properties")) {
properties.load(input);
LOGGER.debug("properties found:");
for (Object key : properties.keySet()) {
LOGGER.debug("" + ((String) key) + "=" + properties.getProperty((String) key));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
LOGGER.error("Unable to find environment.properties on classpath to Utils.class");
e.printStackTrace();
}
LOGGER.debug("getClassPathProperties Exit");
}
I tried the static declaration first but also tried non-static when a few posts mentioned it works until being declared as a static. I have also tried placing the environment.properties file manually within the the JAR file in different places without success. From Eclipse the exception is:
14:33:52.676 [main] ERROR com.goprecise.ams.handlers.utils.Utils - Unable to find environment.properties on classpath to Utils.class
java.lang.NullPointerException: inStream parameter is null
at java.base/java.util.Objects.requireNonNull(Objects.java:246)
at java.base/java.util.Properties.load(Properties.java:403)
and from the Maven command line an NPE on Properties.load() is reported (the LOGGER.error() message is from the code shown). The pom.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I want the code in the JAR to find the properties at run-time: if the property file does not belong in src/main/resources (the typical place) where does it belong? If a plug-in is interfering with this how can I configure the plugin to enable my reading properties (or would simply moving the file enable it to be read)?

It's the declaration:
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
...
<includes>
<include>*.png</include> <!-- just this one isn't enough -->
</includes>
</resource>
If you (re-)declare the resources explicitely it's not cummulative with the defaults, i.e. the defaults are overriden. Have a look at your target/classes and you will find just PNG images there.
See resources:[testR|r]esources:
Always uses the project.build.[testR|r]esources element to specify the resources to copy.
and POM Reference, Super POM:
<project>
...
<build>
...
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
<testResources>
<testResource>
<directory>${project.basedir}/src/test/resources</directory>
</testResource>
</testResources>
which means: Take all from these dirs by default but take nothing from these dirs if overridden (unless you include it when overriding).

So the property file also needs to be added to src/test/java because it is being called from test cases. Two separate JARs are actually created in the target directory:
ams-pam-workitemhandlers-2.0.1.1.jar
ams-pam-workitemhandlers-2.0.1.1-tests.jar
I think the application will find the resource file in src/main/resources or I will have to move it out but the test cases definitely find it in src/test/resources.

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.

cannot get resources folder into jar when using spring boot maven plugin

Im trying to build an executable jar that runs with spring boot, but I cant get the spring xml from the resources folder into the jar. It looks like my outputDirectory is wrong. What is the correct way to define it such that it is packaged within the jar?
Here is my pom file
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/my-resources</directory>
<includes>
<include>*xml</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>netexchange.exchange.main.ExchangeMain</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/target</outputDirectory>
<finalName>Matcher-with-config</finalName>
<addResources>true</addResources>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<defaultGoal>install</defaultGoal>
<directory>${basedir}/target</directory>
</build>

So I figured out a solution which was to copy the specific resource into question into the folder "src/main/resources". Spring boot build automatically includes all files in that folder, and then you can import them with the annotation "#ImportResource({ "classpath:config.xml" })"
My updated pom looks like this:
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/bitcoin-ethereum</directory>
<includes>
<include>*xml</include>

</resource>

maven copy dependecies not working

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:
<build>
<defaultGoal>install</defaultGoal>

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>
