Where do I put properties files for running JUnit tests on Maven?

I'm using Maven 3.0.3. I'm running the "mvn test" command, in which my test files are in the standard place (src/test/java). Where do I put properties files so that they get picked up by Java's "getResourceAsStream" method? I tried placing my properties files in both src/main/resources and src/test/resources, but my JUnit test isn't finding th开发者_开发百科em. Here's how I want to load the tests ...

final InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("my.properties");

but this returns null. I'm using JUnit 4.8. Any ideas? Thanks, - Dave

It works for me if I use getClass().getResourceAsStream("/my.properties").

Without the / prefix, the path is relative to your class's package, so you'd have to put the properties file in a path like src/test/resources/com/mycompany/mypackage/my.properties.
