zip dependency

[knf <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi, I'm working on a project which uses a zip dependency with a test scope,
and I noticed different behaviors between  jar and zip dependencies.
During a unit test, I have to access a properties file packaged in a zip
dependency; but I get a FileNotFoundException. If I change this zip
dependency to a jar dependency everything works fine (i changed the
dependency declaration in my pom's project, the name of the archive, the pom
of the repository).
So, I guess maven doesn't put the zip dependecies in the classpath. Is it
normal? If yes, is there a way to fix this problem but not by renaming my
dependency to a jar?

Zips are not placed on the classpath. You could use the dependency
plugin to unpack the contents to a known location and use that to load
the file.
