How do I include test classes and configuration in my war for integration testing using maven?

Question

I currently have a maven web project that I am attempting to write integration tests for. For the structure of the project, I\'ve defined test stubs under src/test/j

I believe the following configuration for the maven war plugin would do what you want. You copy your test-classes to your WEB-INF/classes folder. You can even filter those resources.

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-war-plugin
    
        
            generate-test-war
            pre-integration-test
            
                war
            
        
    
    
        ${basedir}/src/test/webapp
        ${project.artifactId}-test
        ${basedir}/target/${project.artifactId}-test
        false
        
            
                ${basedir}/target/test-classes
                WEB-INF/classes
