Regarding test/resources, that's expected at the moment. In order to support our own test suite, the entire test source set needs added to the classpath, including the resources. However, that's currently handled by always assuming that the "test" source set should always be added, regardless of the target project. I'm not sure there's much of a way around that for most usages.

Good catch on the matrix profile missing the resources. Correcting that.

I'm not sure why the properties weren't used at all in your last run. I thought it was working for me, but it certainly could have been a false positive. I'll double check.
