plugin with resource dependency

[Martin Testrot <ma...@d-velop.de>]

Hello,

is it possible to load a non-java resource from the classpath with:

		if (!new File(pResource).exists() &&
ClassLoader.getSystemResource(pResource) == null){
			System.out.println (pResource + " not found!");
			throw new FileNotFoundException("Description " +
pResource + " not found!");
		}

from within a maven plugin ("maven-test-plugin") if this resource is
placed in a separate maven artefact ("example-resources")?
I tried this by placing the resource jar as dependency for the plugin
execution as follows, but had no success:

	<build>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>example.maven.plugins</groupId>
	
<artifactId>maven-test-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
				<dependencies>
					<dependency>
					  <groupId>example</groupId>
	
<artifactId>example-resources</artifactId>
	
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
					</dependency>
				</dependencies>

Greetings, 
Martin

Hello,
Did you try using standard getResource instead of getSystemResource ?
According  to jdk/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html, the
getSystemResource() methods looks only in the system classloader which
may not be the right class loader to look at:

 if (!new File(pResource).exists() &&
     ClassLoader.getResource(pResource) == null){
     System.out.println (pResource + " not found!");
     throw new FileNotFoundException("Description " + pResource 
        + " not found!");
 }
