How to Add Akka Configuration in Maven Project

For a simple maven java project (no Spring dependency), the answer is simple, just place the application.conf under /src/main/resources directly,

mapreduce{akka.actor.deployment {/myRandomRouterActor {router = randomnr-of-instances = 5}}}

ActorSystem _system = ActorSystem.create("MapReduceApp", ConfigFactory.load().getConfig("mapreduce"));ActorRef randomRouter = _system.actorOf(Props.create(MasterActor.class).withRouter(new FromConfig()),"myRandomRouterActor");
