---------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Provide option to merge test classpath into one directory
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-443
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-443
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: classloading
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Environment: Maven 2.0.8
> Reporter: Cory Prowse
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Backlog
>
>
> Please provide an option for the test classpath to be merged into one
> directory.
> Maven sets up the class files as follows:
> {noformat}
> |-- target/test-classes
> | `-- Unit Test classes
> |-- target/classes
> `-- Classes to be tested
> {noformat}
> When running unit tests, the desired outcome is for any file in the
> "target/test-classes" tree to override those in the "target/classes".
> Specifically that any file in classes is ignored and overridden by the file
> in test-classes for the tests to work as expected.
> (In a sense a union on these two file trees in the order specified)
> The problem arises when using a container such as Embedded JBoss to test
> which treats each directory as a separate scope for classloading.
> Reading the ejb-3_0-fr-spec-persistence.pdf section "6.2.2 Persistence Unit
> Scope" spells it out quite clearly (a very short one page read) that if the
> "target/test-classes" and "target/classes" are each treated as a separate
> ejb-jar, then the runtime environment is not going to work due to these
> scoping rules.
> I have an ugly hack in place as follows which has the desired effect, but it
> would be more preferable if instead Maven Surefire provided an option to
> merge the directories together and have just one directory in the test
> classpath.
