I have installed maven in eclipse on Vista 32.

I have made a tmp folder in /src/main/resources:

/src/main/resources/tmp

Now I want to write some files to this folder, but how do I get the full
path?

I have an application in a maven module A that needs to write a file to a
tmp folder during runtime. But the application is called from another module
B which means that:

System.getProperty("user.dir")

refers to module B's location. I have created the tmp folder in:

/src/main/resources/tmp

under module A (it should not be placed in module B's resources). But how do
I get that path?

I am not 100% sure, but it looks like you are mixing build and runtime
environments. Normally, maven project layout (i.e. src/main/resources
and the rest), are not present at runtime and location of temporary
files really depends on your application logic.

First, files in "src/main/resources" will be added to your application jar
so you can always read them (in Java) from Class#getResourceAsStream. But
you can't write to there!

And your application shouldn't rely on source code folders. "user.dir"
happens to be the location where application B is launched, but what about
when you build the jar and ship it to someone else? How about using
System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")?
