SPC060501: Do not deploy Features ElementFiles as Resources |
Resource files can be used to deploy resources to an existing Feature folder. If the target Feature is part of the same solution package binary files should be deployed as ElementFile in the Feature. If the target Feature is not part of the package it does make sense to use Resources (e.g. to deploy additional languages to existing features).

<ElementManifests>
...
<ElementFile Location="WebParts.xml" />
...
