Are unit test includes and excludes inherited?

I have a question about project inheritance which I haven't been able to
find out an answer to from searching the documentation or the archives
of this list.

I have two maven projects, one which extends the others. In general the
inheritence is working as I would expect.

In the parent project I have defined which unit tests I want to run and
which ones I want to omit:

  <build>  
    <!-- snip other stuff -->

    <unitTest>
       <includes>
        <include>com/**/Test*.java</include>
      </includes>
      <excludes>
        <exclude>**/foo/TestBar*.java</exclude>      
      </excludes>     
    </unitTest>
  </build>

In the child project I simply have:

  <build>  
    <!-- snip other stuff -->

  </build>

Now when I run the tests in the child project it runs everything in the
unitTestSourceDirectory, ignoring the excludes defined in the parent
project. So it looks as if the includes and excludes are not being
inherited.

Is this expected behaviour?   

(This is with 1.0-rc1)

Re: Are unit test includes and excludes inherited?

Posted by Emmanuel Venisse <em...@venisse.net>.
In Maven, only dependencies are merged when you inherit a project.
In your case, you redeclare a build tag, so only the child part is used and
not the parent part.
