I’m trying to get a custom resource I placed on my deamon example. I’m following the UR example where:

1. I copy my desired resource in the same way the deamon executable is copied in the pom:

2. Then i call:

So, inside the final `.jar` is present `myres` file as the `HelloWorld` provided in the example. But after several attempts and tests i cannot acquire my resource inside `InstallationNodeContribution` class. I also tried putting the abs path (src/main/…), the GUI folder path and others. I’m missing some step? Where the `.jar` is unpacked when the URSim or the real Controller run?

Easiest way to check where your file your file is located inside the jar is lanching the command “jar -tf target/(urcapName).jar” -\> the .jar is the same as the .urcap just the extension change.  
(If the file is not anywhere, you should try to add a `<include>` in your pom.xml or assembly.xml the correct way)

Hope this help.

Or, set the \< userDefaultExclude \> to false in assembly.xml, and let your daemon in your resources:

```
    <fileSet>
        <directory>src</directory>
        <useDefaultExcludes>false</useDefaultExcludes>
    </fileSet>

```

Then after a `mvn install`:
