How to run Junit Test in Maven when a test file is not in mavenise structure

I have so many java files and those java files test.java is not in src/test/java structure. for ex: i have java file named abc.java in src/java/abc but the the test file of this java file named as abcTest.java is in src/java/junit/abc. so how i will do the junit testing of this java file through maven pom.xml as maven wants normal java file in src/main/java and test files in src/test/java so how i will do the test through maven?

I have added the junit dependency and surefire plugin in my pom.xml .

<dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.12</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

and the surefire plugin is 

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.10</version>
               <configuration> 
               <testSourceDirectory>${basedir}/../src/java/junit/*.java</testSourceDirectory> 
               <testClassesDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classe‌​s/</testClassesDirectory>
<includes>
            <include>abcTest.java</include>
          </includes>
                </configuration> 
            </plugin>

i have given mvn test command but still it is giving zero tests in log. Can anyone help me on this how to run junit test.java files through maven?

Assuming you can't really the structure of the project, you'll have to customize the Surefire plugin.

Adding a Junit dependency won't be sufficient - its only allow to compile your test classes.

So, you're in the right direction - you'll have to customize a Surefire plugin of Maven responsible for running the tests.

Now, in order to make Surefire plugin running the tests that don't end with *Test.java you'll have to change inclusions. Namely, you'll have to specify regular expressions that will reflect the names of tests you wish to run.

This page describes just this.

i have added these two below lines in my pom.xml after basedirectory tag and junit test cases ran successfully . and now i am running mvn install and all my testcases in test.java are running although i don't have maven like structure.

<testSourceDirectory>${basedir}/../src/java/junit</testSourceDirectory> 
        <testOutputDirectory>${basedir}/target/test-classes</testOutputDirectory>

and after that i have added surefire plugin and thats all my junit testcases are running.
