I don't understand what could be the use-case for including a test-jar in a
"production" project, imo, test folder should always be useful only for the
project it's in.
Apart from that, maybe your problem comes from the "type" tag you're using
in the <dependency> declaration.
In the declaration below, I guess there're several flaws:
* building a test-jar won't install it in the local repo, and also won't
deploy in the remote repo
=> Did you install manually in the repo ?
* once it's been created, are you sure <type>test-jar</type> is the way to
go? I never generated a test-jar myself before. I just tried and saw it
generates ${project.artifactId}-{project.version}-tests.jar.
=> Then shouldn't use <classifier>tests</classifier> and no type (defaults
to jar) instead of what you put?
HTH
