Hi Christopher,
The point of this JAR is for use in a unit test, right?
So if it's in src/test/resources, it will only end up lumped into the test
JAR, not the main JAR. Do you guys deploy your test JAR for downstream
consumption? If so, do you actually need all the unit tests to pass _when
run from the test JAR outside the project_? Or only during the actual Maven
build? Because if you don't need that, then you could just put the JAR
resource outside of src/test/resources (in, say, ${basedir}/src/test/extra
or some such) and just access it from that relative path during the unit
tests. You get your unit test, your test JAR does not get bloated by this
nested JAR resource, and life goes on.
That said, I agree with the others that naively, it does not seem bad to
have this tiny test JAR embedded in your deployed test JAR. It is a binary
test resource, very similar to an image file.
Regards,
Curtis
