*About the Maven Resources Plugin:*
The Maven Resources plugin is a core component of the Maven build tool. It handles the copying of project resources to the output directory, distinguishing between main resources (associated with the main source code) and test resources (associated with test source code). The plugin has three primary goals:
1. *resources:* Copies resources for the main source code to the main output directory.
2. *testResources:* Copies resources for the test source code to the test output directory.
3. *copy-resources:* Copies arbitrary resource files to a specified output directory¹².
The plugin also supports filtering, which allows you to replace placeholder variables in resource files with values from the POM file. This is particularly useful for managing configuration properties across different environments².
*Why Watch?*

Can you explain why filtering is added in pom.xml?
