This is an request for an enhancement to make it easier to test Java Applications. I am working with applications that require data files that my java application must read in order to work. I would like to see the ability to specify required files that need to be in the same directory as the running code and have the IDE automatically make the necessary new copies/sync existing copies from original location to the location to the location where the project code is run from when testing from inside the ide when the project is compiled. Maybe by adding a new root level grouping (like Test Package, Libraries, etc) called "Data Files" that would contain the data files that need to be copied in order for the Java Application being developed to run.
