[jira] Created: (MECLIPSE-679) Test directories should not be exported to other projects/modules

Test directories should not be exported to other projects/modules
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MECLIPSE-679
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-679
             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core : Dependencies resolution and build path (.classpath)
            Reporter: Sean Flanigan


For consistency with Maven dependency rules, the contents of src/test/java and src/test/resources should not be exported to the classpath of dependent projects.  (This is handy for files like log4j.xml where a particularly verbose configuration might only make sense when testing the project itself.)

In Eclipse, it's probably not possible to achieve this for a source folder like src/test/java (source folders are always exported), but at least src/test/resources could be added to the classpath as a class folder, rather than a source folder. 

It's probably best if this is optional, because you can't exclude **/*.java from a class folder, as you can for a source folder.  It must be rare to put .java files in src/test/resources, but I'm sure they're out there!

Sean Flanigan commented on MECLIPSE-679:
----------------------------------------

That should say "you can't exclude {{\*\*/\*.java}} from a class folder".
