<testSourcesLast> boolean 2.9 Whether to place test resources after main resources. Note that the default behavior of Maven version 2.0.8 or later is to have test dirs before main dirs in classpath so this is discouraged if you need to reproduce the maven behavior during tests. The default behavior is also changed in eclipse plugin version 2.6 in order to better match the maven one. Switching to "test source last" can anyway be useful if you need to run your application in eclipse, since there is no concept in eclipse of "phases" with different set of source dirs and dependencies like we have in maven.

<testSourcesLast>

Whether to place test resources after main resources. Note that the default behavior of Maven version 2.0.8 or later is to have test dirs before main dirs in classpath so this is discouraged if you need to reproduce the maven behavior during tests. The default behavior is also changed in eclipse plugin version 2.6 in order to better match the maven one. Switching to "test source last" can anyway be useful if you need to run your application in eclipse, since there is no concept in eclipse of "phases" with different set of source dirs and dependencies like we have in maven.
