classpath question

[Neo Anderson <ja...@yahoo.co.uk>]

I am build a project and that looks ok at the moment. However I encounter a problem when running test. 

My problem is that I have a customized xml. So I build a test located in the test/project/name/to/xmlTest.java, in which it will load an xml file to have  a small test. The xml file is located at reousrces/project/name/to/file.xml. Unfortunately, when executing the test (via mvn package), it seems the default classpath would be the place where pom.xml exists. Therefore, if in the xmlTest.java I specify xml path like

parser.parse("project/name/to/file.xml");

The maven throws "Running project.name.xmlTest
java.io.FileNotFoundException: $HOME/path/to/pom.xml/project/name/to/file.xml (No such file or directory)"

I read the doc - http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/additional-classpath.html; seemingly I can add additional classpath whilst running test. But no luck, it still looks up the default one. 

I am able to specify the exactly path to solve the problem. 
For instance, 

parser.parse("src/parent_name/project/name/to/file.xml"); 

where src/parent_name is the structure folder that will only be used when writing programme. But this is not what I want because I think that classpath should be configurable.

Is any way I can configure to specify the classpath in pom.xml?

Thanks in advice,

Hi,

I have not tried additional classpath feature in maven2. I am not sure
whether you load your xml file as following?

InputStream inputStream = YourClass.class. getResourceAsStream("The relative
PATH of your XML file");

Thanks.
