Shared test resources for different projects [duplicate]

Question

I have two projects that need the same test resources. I'm using maven for dependency handling and eclipse for running the tests. How can I share the test resources with maven without cloning them?

Answer 1

You could put the test resources in another project or Maven module and add a dependency to this project from the other two (scope test should work). The test resources in the new module/project should go in src/main/resources not in src/test/resources (I think, otherwise they'll be available only during the test goal of this project)
