Answer 1

I have a Maven3 project using JUnit 4.12 and Java8. In order to get the path of a file called myxml.xml under src/test/resources, I do this from within the test case:

@Test
public void testApp()
{
    File inputXmlFile = new File(this.getClass().getResource("/myxml.xml").getFile());
    System.out.println(inputXmlFile.getAbsolutePath());
    ...
}
