title: maven surefire additionalClasspathElements single test
body: <p>I have one main and one test config file which is shared by several maven projects. While testing, I am specifying the classpath to the directory where the test config file is.</p>
  
  <p>This works fine if the whole project is tested/build but it doesn't work while running single tests. The config file is not found in the classpath.</p>
  
  <p>here is the config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;plugin&gt;
    &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-surefire-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    &lt;configuration&gt;
      &lt;additionalClasspathElements&gt;
         &lt;element&gt;${project.parent.basedir}/conf/test&lt;/element&gt;
      &lt;/additionalClasspathElements&gt;
    &lt;/configuration&gt;
  &lt;/plugin&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>any ideas why surefire ignores the property for running single tests?</p>
  
  <p>thank you</p>
