I don't have an answer, but I have some comments that may help you find
a solution...

My tests need to access the templates in WEB-INF/freemarker
If I configure my directory with the standard
src/main/java
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/freemarker/myTemplate.ftl
src/main/resources/applicationContext.xml
test/main/resouces/--nothing here--
My tests that require applicationContext.xml work fine, but the ones that
require myTemplate.ftl do not. Super, I just need to add a resource
location, right? I tried the additions below, but it didn't seem to do
anything. Is mvn -X -Dtest=mytest the best way to get debug output/sort
these things out?
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>
src/main/resources
</directory>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>
${warSourceDirectory}
</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
So I'd like a solution like the above, but if that fails, My 2nd attempt was
making a:
src/main/resources/WEB-INF/freemarker/myTemplate.ftl
This wasn't found either and my app (well actually the freemarkerViewLoader)
looks like it's only checking: test-classes/
Lastly I tried:
test/main/resources/WEB-INF/freemarker/myTemplate.ftl
and the template is found.
What I'd really like is some variation on the first option I tried. Is this
incorrect?
In general, there are two ways to load a file/resource:
1. from a file path, that might be relative to the current working
directory, or relative to the root of your webapp
2. from the classpath
Defining maven resources essentially gets more stuff into your classpath
(in support of way 2). But if the application is trying to load them
from a specific file path (way 1), it won't help. I think this is a
disconnect that you are experiencing.
2ndly I'm confused as to why the tests find:
src/main/resources/applicationContext.xml
but not
src/main/resources/WEB-INF/freemarker/myTemplate.ftl
An issue in the way the Spring/Freemarker template loading is happening?
applicationContext.xml is (most likely) loaded from the classpath, not
from src/main/resources/. Stuff that is in src/main/resources gets
copied to target/classes. target/classes is in the classpath.
I don't know anything about freemarker. Is there any way to get it to
load your .ftl files from the classpath (rather than from the file path
/WEB-INF/freemarker)? Looking at the freemarker source code might be the
best way to understand how it loads the files.

Any ideas? Thanks,
