First you should place your resources into src/main/resources/com/berlin/Test.properties and your java source files into src/main/java/com/berlin/Test.java...Never put compiled classes into src/ folder... furthermore you should remove the configuration:

  ${project.artifactId}
  src
  test
  
        
            src
            
                **
            
            
                **/*.java
            
        
    

from your pom, cause you don't need it and furthermore it's wrong (Convention over configuration paradigm!). Take a look at the default folder layout in maven.

The Maven Way is to put the source files (*.java) into src/main/java, the resources src/main/resources. The unit test classes src/test/java and src/test/resources after compiling it will be put into target/classes or for the tests target/test-classes.
