test-jar dependency clobbers transitive dependency

[andrew <li...@pyroboy.com.au>]

Maven version: 2.0

Hi,

Specifying a test-jar dependency clobbers any transitive dependency on
that project.

eg

projectA publishes jar and test-jar
projectB depends on projectA.jar (scope compile)
projectC depends on projectB.jar (scope compile) and projectA.test-jar
(scope test)

In projectC, the test scoped projectA.test-jar dependency effectively
clobbers the compile scoped transitive dependency on projectA.jar. ie
projectA.jar is no longer in projectC's compile scope dependency list.

I see that there are currently other issues with test-jar dependency
resolution (MNG-1378 <http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1378>).

Should I add the above to the current issue, create a new one OR should
I really be doing this some other way?

Thanks,
...andrew

You can add it to that, or better create a new issue and link to the
original/mention it in the description. It shouldn't be clobbered, as
the conflict ID for a dependency is group:artifact:type:classifier.
