How can I specify the that $HOME should be in the classpath
Hi,
I'm wondering how I can specify that $HOME should be added to
the classpath before running unit tests and when generating
the project files using the eclipse plugin.
Thanks,
ct

If you want to have files on the classpath for tests, use the <resources>
element of the <unitTest> element in your POM.
See http://maven.apache.org/reference/project-descriptor.html#resources

I think a property like src.dir pointing to your $HOME/file.xml can be
defined in build.properties or project.properties and specify the property
in project.xml .so that any files notin the source tree canused .

Yep.

Not really. It my fault for not giving a full picture of what
I'm trying to do. Here's the story.
There are various property and xml files that my project requires at
runtime. Examples include log4j.xml, hibernate.xml etc. These files
do not live in the source tree (src/java) so as to prevent developers
commiting their preferences to CVS. Instead, each developer must
put, for example, log4j.xml in their $HOME directory and tweak it
according to their taste.
So the problem I have is that I would like maven to include $HOME
in the path when it's running unit tests (in order to ensure that
the various property/xml files are loaded). Since we also use
Eclipse, it would be convenient if $HOME could be expressed as
a <dependency> so that the Eclipse plugin would add it to the
project classpath. In this way the same properties would apply
regardless of whether the unit tests are being run from the
command line or within Eclipse.
I guess this is related to the whole are of runtime dependencies.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
ct

You don't do things this way with Maven.
With maven you declare your dependency on specific files (jars etc) rather
than anything found in a directory.
Does this help? If not, give us some more info on what you need to do.
