You already got working solution provided in comments.

But depending on the type of resources you want to maintain and share with other projects you could also consider making own project for the resources.

Install it then with maven and add as dependency for other projects needing it.

This solution of course might require changes in your code if you for example fetch stuff like property files or images from jar having resources.
