type=test-jar vs classifier=tests

[Stefano Bagnara <ap...@bago.org>]

I have a multimodule project where some module tests have dependencies 
on other modules tests.

I can use both
<classifier>tests</classifier>
<scope>test</scope>
and
<type>test-jar</type>
<scope>test</scope>

I think I notice that the type "test-jar" works when I build it in 
reactor without installing while the classifier does not work in that 
case if I don't add "install" as one of my goals.

Is there any other change in this? Why isn't the <classifier> method 
working in reactor?

I see here http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html
you suggest the classifier method, but I think in past I always read 
about the type test-jar method....

I think the test-jar type is "more correct". The ambiguity is confusing
though and I think there should be no reason why both shouldn't work in the
reactor.

Has anyone got advice on this?

I had a similar problem, where I was using classifier as per the guide
but maven-eclipse-plugin then includes the project twice.
But if I change to <type>test-jar</type> everything works.

Which one is the correct way?
Should the guide be updated?
