KlaasJan Elzinga commented on MNG-3118: --------------------------------------- It just didn't feel like a patch version change. The fact that my build failed first with 2.0.8 and a week later with 2.0.7 doesn't feel right. Backwards compatibility could be accomplished by mvn querying the surefire plugin version and construct the path with respect to that version. FYI, I was using mvn in an environment where upgrades are not allways possible/easy (...and all the dvl'ers had to upgrade), I know how to work around it, which meant a code change or an upgrade. In the end I advised everyone to upgrade to 2.0.8. I'll stop commenting on this issue since this is not really the place for it anyway. Thanks for the reaction though. > Test-classes should come before classes in the classpath > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3118 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3118 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: General > Affects Versions: 2.0.7 > Reporter: Paul Gier > Fix For: 2.0.8, 2.1-alpha-1 > > Attachments: MNG-3118-maven-project-r558713.patch > > > Currently maven-project creates the test classpath in the order: classes, > tests-classes, dependencies. > It would be better if test-classes came first because sometimes it is useful > for a test class to replace a main class during testing.
