   @dlmarion So, it seems like you might be using Maven a bit wrong, and it may be the reason you're seeing inconsistent results. `mvn test` generally only works in a multi-module project if all the modules are of `jar` or `pom` packaging type. That's not the case for all Accumulo modules. You should use `mvn package` which includes the `test` phase, in order to ensure all the modules have access to their sibling artifacts. It also works if you first do `mvn install`, but I would avoid that, because that taints your local maven repository with SNAPSHOT artifacts that can cause your subsequent builds to resolve local artifacts that are stale from a previous build rather than the current sibling artifacts in your multi-module project. There are cases where you need to use `mvn install` (to make a SNAPSHOT version of a dependency available to a separate project's build), but that's an edge case. Most of your builds should use `mvn package` or `mvn verify` as your build target in the [Ma
 ven build lifecycle](https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html).
