Change the default output location of test resources

[Jaikiran <ja...@yahoo.co.in>]

I am using Maven-2.0.9 and trying to change the default output location of
the "test resources" (under src/test/resources). By default, they get copied
to target/tests-classes during mvn clean package. However, i want them to be
copied under my specific target/tests-resources folder. I followed the
maven-resources-plugin documentation and came up with this configuration in
my pom.xml:

<build>
   <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.3</version>
      <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>change-test-resource-outputdir</id>
            <!-- here the phase you need -->
            <phase>process-test-resources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>testResources</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
               <outputDirectory>target/test-resources</outputDirectory>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
   </plugins>
  </build>

This works in a weird way. Based on what i see, the test resources are
copied twice, once to the default location (target/tests-classes) and once
to my specific directory (target/tests-resources). Here's what i see on the
console:

[INFO] [enforcer:enforce {execution: enforce-banned-dependencies}]
[INFO] [resources:resources]
[WARNING] Using platform encoding (UTF-8 actually) to copy filtered
resources, i.e. build is platform dependent!
[INFO] Copying 1 resource
[INFO] [compiler:compile]
[INFO] Compiling 7 source files to /home/myhome...
[INFO] [resources:testResources]
[WARNING] Using platform encoding (UTF-8 actually) to copy filtered
resources, i.e. build is platform dependent!
[INFO] Copying 4 resources
[INFO] [resources:testResources {execution: change-test-resource-outputdir}]
[WARNING] Using platform encoding (UTF-8 actually) to copy filtered
resources, i.e. build is platform dependent!
[INFO] Copying 4 resources
[INFO] [compiler:testCompile]


The resources:testResources seems to be called twice.

Is there any way i can avoid the tests resources from being copied to the
default output location?

The reason why the resource:testResources is being run twice might be because

as documented in
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html#Plugins

On the #maven IRC i did get some inputs about using an alternate approach:

<build>
  <testResources>
     <testResource>
             <directory>target/test-resources</directory>
     </testResource>
  </testResources>
</build>

But i haven't yet been able to get this working. The target/test-resources
is not created and the resources are not copied over.
