Maven doesn´t check JUnit tests - eclipse

Question

I configured Maven with Junit using mainly this tutorial:
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/junit.html
I have a one test Class and when I execute "mvn test", this test Class is caught by Maven but Maven doesn´t check it (The result should be FAIL).

My Test Class is in src/main/resources (the console shows "Copying 1 resource"):
package main.resources;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.junit.Test;
public class exampleTest {
#Test
public void test() {
int result = 5;
assertTrue(result == 2);
}
}

Maven version:
Apache Maven 3.3.1 (cab6659f9874fa96462afef40fcf6bc033d58c1c; 2015-03-13T21:10:2
7+01:00)
Maven home: C:\apache-maven-3.3.1\bin\..
Java version: 1.8.0_40, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40\jre
Default locale: es_ES, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 8.1", version: "6.3", arch: "amd64", family: "dos"
Any idea why don´t check the test Case?
Other question, I don´t know because shows a warning about enconding CP1252 when I have configured my project with UTF-8.

Answer 1

Your test class must reside in src/test/java and NOT in src/main/resources Take a look at the default folder layout.

Answer 2

Based on your question the following should be made part of your pom:
<project>
...
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>
...
</project>
