Hugo Garza commented on MNG-1378: --------------------------------- I was able to solve this by moving my test dependencies into the parent POM that both projects share, but this isn't possible in every case. I guess the only thing I can do for now is to cast my vote for hopefully getting this feature implemented. I just learned about test-jar and was excited that it would just work but then I got my ClassNotFoundException and realized it was because of my missing transitive test dependencies. > Make dependencies of test-jars transitive > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1378 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1378 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Mark Hobson > Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 3.x > > Attachments: mng1378.tar.gz > > > test-jar transitive dependencies are calculated as per compile scope rather > than test scope. > The situation is demonstrated nicely in it0077: > * module sub1 has a test-scoped dependency of commons-lang > * module sub2 has a test-scoped dependency of sub1 test-jar > sub2 tests should inherit the commons-lang transitive dependency.
