Thomas Strecker commented on SUREFIRE-569:
------------------------------------------
Basically the description at
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html gives you the
procedure to create the test.jar. However, the plugin does not execute the
tests from the JAR, rendering the whole thing rather useless.
One way to solve the issue would be to have the surefire plugin check all
dependencies of type "test-jar" (or classifier "tests") for tests, too.
Another way would be to provide additional dependencies for the surefire-plugin
in the plugin's configuration.
> There should be a way to run unit tests from a dependency jar.

> In some cases it would be useful to have a set of tests that run with various
> dependency configurations. One way to accomplish this would be to have a
> single project that contains the unit tests and generates a test jar.
> Several test configuration projects could then consume the unit tests and run
> them with different dependency sets. The problem is that there is no easy
> way to run tests in a dependency jar. The surefire plugin should have a
> configuration to allow me to run all or a set of unit tests contained in a
> dependency jar.
