Zips are not placed on the classpath. You could use the dependency plugin to unpack the contents to a known location and use that to load the file.

During a unit test, I have to access a properties file packaged in a zip dependency; but I get a FileNotFoundException. If I change this zip dependency to a jar dependency everything works fine (i changed the dependency declaration in my pom's project, the name of the archive, the pom of the repository). So, I guess maven doesn't put the zip dependecies in the classpath. Is it normal? If yes, is there a way to fix this problem but not by renaming my dependency to a jar? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
