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:

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.

Not able to generate classes through JAXB maven plugin

I'm new to maven, I've a xsd file and am trying to generate JAXB classes for that but the below code is not generating any classes. Below is part of my pom.xml, after adding jaxb2-maven-plugin I did maven clean and maven install and there are no classes generated. Am I missing something or have I misplaced it ? any help would be appreciated.
Update : I was able to generate classes when I ran the command mvn jaxb2:xjc , but not when I do mvn clean install. What should be done for this ?

Loading resources from classpath in custom Doclet

I wrote custom Doclet implementation and I run it with Maven javadoc:

In customDoclet class I have following lines:
public class CustomDoclet extends Doclet {
public static boolean start(RootDoc root) {
(1) System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(".")); // returns null
VelocityEngine velocityEngine = new VelocityEngine();
velocityEngine.init();
(2) Template template = velocityEngine.getTemplate("template/html_template.vm"); // no such file exception thrown
return true;
}
}
(1) line returns null, and (2) throws execption during javadoc phase.
How can I use resource file?
In jar with CustomDoclet there is file 'template/hmtl_template.vm' in the root.

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>
</includes>
</resource>

How to set variable as database password into pom.xml

I need to configure a Jenkins variable as my password database into my pom's profile, but if I set ${env.passwordb} (as shown below) the project does not compile and get some errors, but if I push the code to Jenkins, it takes the variable and runs the project perfectly. What I need to change ?

Error:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve
placeholder 'env.passworddb' in string value "${env.passworddb}"

After a bit of investigation it turned out that the ${env.passwddb} existed only on the remote jenkins environment. To overcome that and still use the same profile connfiguration, the possible solutions would be:
1) Hardcode
On local environment the password ought to be hardcoded inside the properties file. One the remote, the placeholder would still be present.
2) Password passed through maven command line:
mvn clean package resources:testResources -Denv.passwddb=realpass
