如何增加SpringJUnit4ClassRunner使用的类路径？

Question

To be clear, my problem is not that my tests cannot find the application context. My problem is that other files that are searched for on the classpath cannot be found. My pom.xml runs the tests with additional classpath entries, so the build works fine, but it's annoying that if I want to run the tests manually in Eclipse, I have to edit the run configuration to add a particular subdirectory of the project to the classpath. I'd really like to figure out how to specify this in the test class itself. The "@ContextConfiguration" annotation comes close to this, but that's just for loading the application context.

How can I specify in an annotation in the test class itself that a particular subdirectory of the project needs to be added to the classpath when the test runs?

That's unfortunately not possible.

You'll need to ensure that you can properly import your Maven project into Eclipse -- for example, with the M2Eclipse plugin .
