Description

Create a dummy project, add foo.txt to src/test/resources
do a "mvn clean package"
foo.txt appears in target/test-classes/foo.txt and is not in packaged jar (as supposed)

Add build step to copy some additonal files to classpath/jar and again do a "mvn clean package"

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.5</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>copy-resources</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <phase>process-resources</phase>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <resources>
                        <resource>
                            <directory>src/main/additional</directory>
                        </resource>
                    </resources>
                    <outputDirectory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</outputDirectory>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>

now what happens:
the files in "additional" are copied to target/classes (as supposed) but the foo.txt AS WELL (not supposed)
target/test-classes is now empty and all the test resources are packaged into jar
So specifying the copy-resource goal results in an reconfiguration of the test-resources copy operation?!
