Test cases in new folder created parallel to src/test/java in latest Eclipse IDE maven java project is not executing the test cases

Question

I have a simple java maven project in Eclipse Neon. The project structure looks like

 MyProject
  |
   - src/main/java
   - src/main/resources
   - src/test/java
   - src/test/resources
   - src/feature01test   << A set of test cases, few class depends on src/test/java classes >>

With Eclipse Neon, i was able to debug the junit classes locally for the test cases present in src/feature01test .

With New Eclipse version (version 2019-03), i am NOT able to run the test cases within the src/feature01test .

I added this folder to the Project source, by Project Name -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Source tab -> Add Folder -> choose src/feature01test folder.

Below is the exception message: (note class name are not exact class name i used)

java.lang.Exception: No tests found matching [{ExactMatcher:fDisplayName=myCustomTestCase01], {ExactMatcher:fDisplayName=myCustomTestCase01(com.test.TestCaseOne)], {LeadingIdentifierMatcher:fClassName=com.test.TestCaseOne,fLeadingIdentifier=myCustomTestCase01]] from org.junit.internal.requests.ClassRequest@4b6995df

    at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:209)

using java 1.8.0_181 version.

Is there any way to run the java test cases present in a directory structure parallel to src/test?

If you're using Maven, add source directories by configuring the pom.xml, not by adding source directories in the project properties.

Look at the following for more about this: Maven compile with multiple src directories .
