I need to reference some JUnit Tests (src/test/java) from project B in the test package src/test/java of project A whereas B is a maven dependecy of A.
Is this even possible?
<dependency> <groupId>XYZ</groupId> <artifactId>B</artifactId> <version>${project.version}</version> <type>jar</type> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> Both projects are under my controll.
Thanks for your advice
Your pom in project B needs to include this plugin:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.5</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>test-jar</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> Then, you can access it from project A like this:
<dependency> <groupId>XYZ</groupId> <artifactId>B</artifactId> <version>${project.version}</version> <type>test-jar</type> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> Changing 'type' to test-jar allows you to access test classes from that dependency.
