Jesse Glick commented on MNG-4056:
----------------------------------
The fix of this bug looks like it obsoletes the caveat given at the end of
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html. If that is
right, perhaps the guide should go back to recommending
{{<classifier>tests</classifier>}}, or explain that either style will work
equally well.
> Relax resolution of active project artifacts from the reactor with regard to
> artifact type

> Right now, active project artifacts from the reactor are resolved by their
> exact artifact id. The distinction between artifact type and classifier gives
> rise to confusion for users here. For instance, the test JAR attached by
> {{jar:test-jar}} has the id {{gid:aid:test-jar:version}}. Hence, resolution
> from the reactor cache works only if users specify the dependency on the test
> JAR with {{<type>test-jar</type>}}, omitting {{<type>}} and just giving
> {{<classifier>tests</classifier>}} will not resolve the dependendy from the
> reactor. However, the latter approach with the classifier works once the test
> JAR is installed to the local repo. EJB client JARs are another example of
> this issue.
> Maybe we can extend the reactor resolution to do another id matching try
> which constructs the id of the active artifact by assuming type =
> artifactHandler.extension and classifier = artifactHandler.classifier before
> matching with the dependency id. This should more closely resemble artifact
> identity as visible in the repository, where we have no artifact type but
> only classifier and extension.
