Hi
To solve this problem , I tried to use maven-dependency-plugin:unpack to
solve my problem :
In my secondModule's POM , I added these snippets :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>data-copying</id>
<phase>test-compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>foo</groupId>
<artifactId>firstModule</artifactId>
<type>jar</type>
<includes>foo/firstModule/Data.xml</includes>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes</outputDirectory>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
In this POM file , I try to unpack the first module , and copy the Data.xml
to classes/foo/firstModule/ directory , and then run tests.
And indeed , it is copied to the right directory , I can find the "Data.xml"
file in "target/classes/foo/firstModule" directory.
But maven test still complains it cannot read the File
(Properties.loadFromXML() throws NPE).
I tried other output directory , such as
${project.build.directory}/resources , and
${project.build.directory}/test-classes , but all in vain...
