How to configurate java.class.path property under a given test

[David <ac...@yahoo.es>]

Dear members,

I have a method that find a file on classpath and I want to check that it works fine. My testing class works fine under Eclipse, for example but under mave it doesn't work properly. The reason is that during the testing process I assume there is at least a directory location on classpath, but under maven the java.class.path, contains only jar files. So I can't check if some file exist on some directory of my classpath. I would need for my test, just the "." directory, but I don't find the way to add this information before the test start.

On the 

I have seen other posts about this problem, but without any real good solution, for example:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@maven.apache.org/msg47276.html

On surefire documentation:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html

probably using properly one of the following properties: environmentVariables, jvm, could be solved, but I don't figure out how to deal with this.

Thanks,

David

That's not true. This is from one of my projects:

[DEBUG]   (f) classpathElements = [
/home/tik/Develop/wallabystreet/mtn4java/target/classes,
/home/tik/Develop/wallabystreet/mtn4java/target/test-classes,
/home/tik/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-utils/1.4.1/plexus-utils-1.4.1.jar,
/home/tik/.m2/repository/net/sf/oval/oval/1.0/oval-1.0.jar,
/home/tik/.m2/repository/org/testng/testng/5.1/testng-5.1-jdk15.jar
]

The classes and test-classes directories are on the classpath.

In fact, it's not good to access resources in the classpath directly via
the file system. You should access them as resources via the
classloader. See this thread [1] for an example.
