Run unit tests with multimple dependecies?

I have multiple versions of a jar file called child: child_1.0.jar,
child_1.1, and child_1.2. In theory each version of child implements the
same API and should be backwardly compatible.

I have another jar file called parent_2.0.jar. I would like to run
parent's unit tests three times, each time using a different version of
child. 

Can this be done using Maven? 

Regards,
Christopher

OK, here is one solution.

Create a test-jar from your parent's unit tests

Add a dependency to each child module on the parent with scope test and
type test-jar

[The next steps are required to work around a bug in surefire, whereby it
does not find tests from within test-jar dependencies]

Unpack the test-jar into the target/test-classes folder in each of your
child modules using unpack-dependencies configured for type test-jar only

Now the child modules will run the unit tests from the parent test-jar.

Never done your use case myself, but I guess I'd have a look at profile
activation and multiple executions of the same build.
