Answer 1

You can achieve this using maven-surefire-plugin as below:

    
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-surefire-plugin
        
            
                src\main\webapp\
            
        
    

Now you can access your web.xml in this way for example:

getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("classpath:webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml")
