How do I share test classes between projects?

[Dave Rathnow <Da...@umsltd.com>]

 

I'm new to Maven and have been working with if for a few days.  I've
been reading

through the documentation but haven't found the answer to this question.

 

I have two projects A and B with testing classes in both.  The test
classes in B

Inherit from classes in A and they also use fixtures from A as well.  I
have setup

a dependency with project A in project B but since the test classes are
not installed

with project A in my local repository, B will not build.

 

Is there a way to do this with Maven or do I have to change the way I've
setup

my test framework?  That is, is there an easy way to share test classes
between

projects with Maven?

 

Thanks,
Dave.

move your common test classes to another project but place them in main
source ( ie src/main/java)

other project can refencence it via dependency mechanism to run the test

You need to use type "test-jar":
