No autodetection of JPA Entities in maven-verify

If I put the persistence.xml in the src/test/META-INF folder, autodetection the Entities does not work with maven-verify. When the persistence.xml is located in the src/main/META-INF folder it works.

Running the tests in eclipse works in both cases.

Is there a way to get autodetection to work for maven-verify when the persistence.xml is located in the src/test Folder?

persistence.xml:

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" version="1.0">

  <persistence-unit name="Unit" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
    <properties>
      <!-- Scan for annotated classes and Hibernate mapping XML files -->
      <property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class" />
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>

</persistence>
