How do I make src/test/resources files available to other projects' unit tests?

For example, there is a project my-common which contains a my.properties file in src/main/resources and another version src/test/resources, which is used for tests.

Then there are other projects, for example my-service, which uses my-common and the src/main/resources/my.properties values.

How can I make the src/test/resources/my.properties available to unit tests in my-services/src/test/java?

The standard Maven way to to this is to create a test jar. The maven plugin maven-jar-plugin is used with the goal test-jar:

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.2</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>test-jar</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>

You would then need to depend on the test jar in the modules where you need to:

<project>
  ...
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>groupId</groupId>
      <artifactId>artifactId</artifactId>
      <type>test-jar</type>
      <version>version</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  ...
</project>
