Simple Maven2 Classpath Issue

I have a straightforward Maven2/Spring project. Locally in Intellij all the tests run fine, however on the build server (Hudson), the application context won't start because test-context.xml can't be found on the classpath.

New to this...any ideas? Assuming this is something obvious...

Project dir structure:

-src
--java
--resources
-test
--java
---test-context.xml

Note: makes no difference locally if test-context.xml is in test/java or test/resources

Relevant bits of the pom:

<properties>
    <org.springframework.version>3.0.3.RELEASE</org.springframework.version>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <project.build.testOutputDirectory>test-classes</project.build.testOutputDirectory>
    <project.build.testSourceDirectory>test</project.build.testSourceDirectory>
</properties>

Locally in Intellij all the tests run fine

The question is: does your project build fine when running Maven on the command line? This is the only way to reproduce the issue (and this is also the reference, having things running under any IDE is not really relevant). Then look at the traces of the unit test (logged in a text file under target/surefire-reports). And maybe attach them to this question.

however on the build server (Hudson), the application context won't start because test-context.xml can't be found on the classpath.

And how do you load it?

PS: I would also recommend sticking to Maven's default project layout.

Where is your test-context.xml located? In the src/test/resources folder ? How does your pom look like ? Otherwise this will be some kind of "magic" to answer this question with such less information...
