How can I add a directory to the classpath to run JUnit tests in the command line?

[Jared Blitzstein <te...@blitzstein.net>]

I'm doing a demo app using JUnit 4 and Spring annotations and having  
some trouble getting maven to run my tests. They launch and run  
correctly in eclipse, but mvn test cannot find my xml context files  
because they're not on the classpath (they're in /webapp/WEB-INF/) and  
my JUnit test is using @ContextConfiguration(locations = { "/todo- 
application-context.xml", "/todo-data.xml" }). I saw  
maven.plugin.classpath and maven.test.classpath (though it seems maven  
1.x) and launching via "mvn test -Dmaven.plugin.classpath=/src/main/ 
webapp/WEB-INF/" (i've tried the absolute path too) but it's still  
giving me a FileNotFound exception on my *.xml files. Any ideas?

Answered my own question I think, I did it via the POM

		<plugin>
			  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
			  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
			  <version>2.4.2</version>		
			<configuration>
			   	<additionalClasspathElements>
				<additionalClasspathElement>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/</ 
additionalClasspathElement>
				</additionalClasspathElements>
			  </configuration>
		</plugin>

However, my tests don't seem to be returning. I can see it execute the  
first one, then just sit there.
