[SUREFIRE-427] persistence.xml being ignored in test path when in test/resources/META-INF

Description

The file
src/test/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml
is not included in the test path.
When this file is moved to
src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml
then it is loaded correctly.

The attached application will fail to build, complaining about no default persistence unit in the deployment

I'm confused why it isn't working as the META-INF directory in the test resources does contain another file that IS picked up during the test by JBoss Embedded (file: components.xml).

This is using Maven 2.0.8 which explicitly states in its release notes:
"MNG-3118 - Test-classes should come before classes in the classpath.
This may slightly alter behavior of tests. The test-classes is now
included first in the classpath to allow test resources to override
normal runtime ones."

I have emailed the users list and not received a response. Is there anything I could try to help?
