Share test resources between maven projects

by

Just use jar:test-jar and declare the resulting JAR as a dependency (refer to this guide for more details). And while I don’t understand the problem of having resources and classes in this jar, you can always exclude all .class files:

<project>
  <build>
    <plugins>
     <plugin>
       <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
       <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
       <version>2.2</version>
       <executions>
         <execution>
           <goals>
             <goal>test-jar</goal>
           </goals>
         </execution>
       </executions>
       <configuration> 
         <excludes>
           <exclude>**/*.class</exclude>
         </excludes>
       </configuration> 
     </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

And to use it:

<project>
  ...
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.myco.app</groupId>
      <artifactId>foo</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      <type>test-jar</type>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  ...
</project>
