On a project we worked on, we followed the Standard Directory Layout, but we had configuration files in subdirectories under src/main/resources similar to 

src/main/resources/folder1
src/main/resources/folder2
src/main/resources/folder3

which we wanted to copy over to under src/test/resources (maintaining the structure). We did this

<testResources>
  ...
  <testResource>
    <directory>src/main/resources/folder1</directory>
    <targetPath>folder1</targetPath>
  </testResource>
  <testResource>
    <directory>src/main/resources/folder2</directory>
    <targetPath>folder2</targetPath>
  </testResource>
  ...
</testResources>

Hope this helps.

You might want to create a folder src/test/resources and move all your files there. Maven will automatically copy these files to target/test-classes and add them to the classpath.

And since you are creating this folder structure anyhow, simply move those 3 files in the same folder and Maven will work its magic.

EDIT: For more info, see the Maven Standard Directory Layout Introduction.

Dont know why you dont want to go with the default director structure. but below link and snippet should help you out.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/resource-directory.html

<build>
<directory>target</directory>
<outputDirectory>target/classes</outputDirectory>
<finalName>${artifactId}-${version}</finalName>
<testOutputDirectory>target/test-classes</testOutputDirectory>
<sourceDirectory>src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
<scriptSourceDirectory>src/main/scripts</scriptSourceDirectory>
<testSourceDirectory>src/test/java</testSourceDirectory>
<resources>
  <resource>
    <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
  </resource>
</resources>
<testResources>
  <testResource>
    <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
  </testResource>
</testResources>

Notice

 <outputDirectory>target/classes</outputDirectory>
<testOutputDirectory>target/test-classes</testOutputDirectory>

You can configure your own directories in here.
