jar does not attach to reactor?

[Robert Reiner]

Hi!

is it true that the jar plugin does not add the generated artifact to the
reactor to share it with other projects in a multi-project-build? They get
installed and deployed, but I failed to notice that the dependency-plugin
will still grab the specified artifacts from the local repo (instead of from
the reactor).

I added the buildhelper plugin and now everthing works fine (besides the
site-plugin, but this is a filed bug - 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-171).

I want to use tests from one submodule in another module of the same
multi-module. This is what works for me:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>test-jar</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
      ...
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>attach-artifacts</id>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>attach-artifact</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <artifacts>
          <artifact>
           
<file>${basedir}/target/${project.build.finalName}-tests.jar</file>
            <type>jar</type>
            <classifier>tests</classifier>
          </artifact>
        </artifacts>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

In the submodule I use the dependency-plugin:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
    <overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
  </configuration>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>repack-entity-classes</id>
      ....
    </execution>
    <execution>
      <id>unpack-test-classes</id>
      <phase>test-compile</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
       
<outputDirectory>${project.build.testOutputDirectory}</outputDirectory>
        <includeGroupIds>de.smartics.timesheet</includeGroupIds>
        <includeArtifactIds>timesheet-ejb-core</includeArtifactIds>
        <includeClassifiers>tests</includeClassifiers>
     </configuration>
   </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

Is this the right way to go?

Regards,

  Robert
