How to create test resources folder manually for unit test

the sample application i am working on doesn't have a resources folder in test, i don't know why, so i am trying to create the resources folder in test manually as follows:

from eclipse: on the java resources > new source folder > src/test/resources

i can see now that the resource folder appears in test package, but question is, is there's any additional configuration should i do to maven or spring or unit test so i can work with resources folder and load files from it ?

please advise, thanks.

I post another answer for Gradle users

Edit .classpath file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
    ...
    <classpathentry kind="src" output="bin/test" path="src/test/java">
        <attributes>
            <attribute name="test" value="true"/>
            <attribute name="gradle_scope" value="test"/>
            <attribute name="gradle_used_by_scope" value="test"/>
        </attributes>
    </classpathentry>
    <classpathentry kind="src" output="bin/test" path="src/test/resources">
        <attributes>
            <attribute name="test" value="true"/>
            <attribute name="gradle_scope" value="test"/>
            <attribute name="gradle_used_by_scope" value="test"/>
        </attributes>
    </classpathentry>
    ...
</classpath>

You either use maven standard directory layout (then maven includes it automatically) or you point maven to the resources in your pom file in build section as follows:

<testResources>
  <testResource>
    <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
  </testResource>
</testResources>

Then you have the resources on classpath.
