Maven 2.0.8 test resource loading

[DI Kurt Edegger <ed...@telbiomed.at>]

Hi!

I've read about the class path order changes in Maven 2.0.8 compared to earlier releases and this is causing some issues in my builds so I wonder if there is a best approach to this topic.

I've a class needing a resource file loaded from the class path. This file must be a different one in the test scenario compared to the one when performing a build.
To simplify, I've set up a small (web-)project simply holding a unitTest, loading a resource from the classpath like this:

public void testResourceLoading(){
   URL resURL = TestClassLoading.class.getClassLoader().getResource("resource.txt");
   assertNotNull(resURL);
   System.out.println("ResURL: "+resURL);
   assertTrue("Haven't found the resource within test-classes!", resURL.toString().endsWith("/target/test-classes/resource.txt"));
}

When performing a "mvn test" with maven 2.0.7 the test passes, hence the correct version of the file is loaded.
A test with maven 2.0.8 fails because the file in "/target/classes/" is loaded.

I've read about the forkMode of the surefire plugin, so I tried to set this to "never", but then a test with maven 2.0.8 passes and the one with maven 2.0.7 fails!

Could anyone elaborate on how to deal with this situation?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

     Kurt
