Hi I am looking for a way to setup a elasticserach ingest plugin project based on maven and not on gradle.

I follow the instructions of this [guide](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2016/07/27/creating-a-plugin-for-elasticsearch-5-dot-0-using-maven/)

That works so far so good fine. But I don't know where I have to place the plugin-security.policy.

For gradle projects it suggested to place in src/main/plugin-metadata. But what about maven ?

My guess is that it should be placed under `src/main/resources`, but I have not used Maven in a long time.

Why not just go with Gradle for just your es plugin? Alexander Reelsen build a very nice tool that allows you to generate a new gradle project for specific types of ES plugins: [https://github.com/spinscale/cookiecutter-elasticsearch-ingest-processor](https://github.com/spinscale/cookiecutter-elasticsearch-ingest-processor)
