http://mojo.codehaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/add-source-mojo.html added to the verify phase might be what you are looking for? If not, there are a lot of other goals in that plugin that have similar functionality, maybe one of them is better suited. On Aug 31, 2011, at 10:34 AM, Benjamin

Re: How to add a folder to the classpath used during maven build

Hi, I'm sorry to say it, but I believe that you aren't thinking about this from a Maven perspective. Your build is specified in your pom. There is some feature of your build that requires a reference to some artifact outside the scope of your module. The normal way to resolve this not

In fact my issue is that these property are in the environement when the war is builded. But we need this file also when the test are running. But since the file is environement dependent, i don't want to have this file staying in the repositry So i decided to add a copy of this file in the test

Re: How to add a folder to the classpath used during maven build

What I was attempting to recommend shouldn't cause the war file to become environment dependent, but I may not have understood. I'm assuming that you have a pom file that is executing tests, and which also produces a war file. In the test environment for the war producing module you need to
