Just IMO, it would be better if your TestCase's had no knowledge of
Maven 
or the execution environment they're running in. 
Personally, I would locate the URL using the classloader's getResource()
method. 
(Of course, you need to know a class or marker file to search for.) 
Not sure if this good enough for your scenario?

An example:
To get the location of junit's jar I would look for
junit.framework.TestCase.class


import java.net.URL;
import junit.framework.TestCase;

public class ResourceUrlTest extends TestCase {
        public ResourceUrlTest(String name) {
                super(name);
        }
        public void resourceLocationTest() {
                URL loc =
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("junit/framew
ork/TestCase.class");
                fail(loc.toExternalForm());
        }
}

Outputs the following in the Surefire log:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: 
jar:file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/treilly/.m2/repository/junit/jun
it/3.8.1/junit-3.8.1.jar!/junit/framework/TestCase.class

Curious, why would a junit test act upon or need information about
another artifact?
(I think this is probably a topic for the user list, any dev's feel free
to correct me.)
