This seems like a bug with maven and recursive builds. Perhaps it
should be resetting the system property, user.dir, to be the ${basedir}.
As a work around, you can add the following configuration for surefire:
<configuration>
<systemProperties>
<property>
<name>user.dir</name>
<value>${basedir}</value>
</property>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>

Subject: Re: Referencing Files from a Unit Test
Wendy,
What I have noticed is that if I go into the sub projects directory and
run
'mvn test', the relative paths that are in the tests resolve perfectly.
When I run the 'mvn test' from the parent project path, then the
relative
paths cannot be found. Will the use of the "basedir" property resolve
to
the subprojects location or the parent projects location?
Thanks,
-Lyndon-
