how to specify dependencies between test classes

Hi,

In the project I am working on, there is a need to specify dependencies
between the test source directories.

The project tree looks like similar to this :

- componentA
   - src
      - main
      - test
- aCommonComponent	
   - src
      - main
      - test

In the JUNIT test cases defined under componentA/test, I want to be able
to use a Java class defined under aCommonComponent/test.
Defining a dependency to aCommonComponent inside componentA's pom file
doesn't help because the class I want to use is under test directory
of the aCommonComponent.

What is the proper way of doing this in maven2 ? 

Thanks,

Gul

You can expose your aCommonComponent in the classifier test

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
     <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
     <executions>
           <execution>
              <id>attach-test</id>
              <goals>
                 <goal>test-jar</goal>
              </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
 </plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

and use it in your componentA

<dependency>
                <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                <artifactId>aCommonComponent</artifactId>
                <version>${project.version}</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
                <classifier>tests</classifier>
            </dependency>

This should works :)

Best regards,

tony.

RE: how to specify dependencies between test classes

Posted by Damon Silver <da...@diio.net>.
Specify a test-jar goal in the <build> section of aCommonComponent's pom
(see documentation for maven-jar-plugin), invoke mvn jar:test-jar on that
project, then try this in the componentA pom:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>foo.bar</groupId>
      <artifactId>aCommonComponent</artifactId>
      <version>1.0</version>
      <type>test-jar</type>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
