Maven and AbstractDependencyInjectionSpringContextTests

[thomasvdv]

Has anyone succeeded at running a static application context in Maven?

I've used it for running tests. I load the applicationContext from the class path. If you store it in the source tree, you need to copy it across with something like:

<postGoal name="java&#58;compile">
<copy todir="$&#123;maven.build.dest&#125;">
<fileset dir="$&#123;pom.build.sourceDirectory&#125;">
<include name="**/*.xml"/>
<include name="**/*.dtd"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</postGoal>

I am not sure if anyone tried the Spring context test cases with Maven but I doubt that the context is loaded only once per test run. I have opened a bug with Maven. For those who run into the same problem, you can follow it here:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPTEST-44

Let me know if I am wrong so I can change the status on Maven's JIRA.
