Answer 2

how to do this is explained here

the post details this pom, it uses the maven-jar-plugin to do it and I have written many poms in a previous job that look almost identical to this. Hope this helps

Answer 3

Maven uses convention over configuration, and consequently all standard Maven projects have the same folder structure. Since the application context file is a resource you should put it int the src/main/resources folder (or one of its sub-folders).
