Re: Sharing files between modules within the same project,
for use by sql-maven-plugin
Hi,
I guess you could patch the sql-plugin, but maybe you should use the
maven-dependency-plugin[1] to unpack your new module for the tests. Then
the sql-plugin can just read the unpacked file and you don't need to patch
anything.

That worked like a charm.
