But how do I do that.  Just putting
     <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.1</version>
     </plugin>
in the top pom, makes 2.1 be pulled into the local maven repo, but
that's in addition to 2.2, and I still get the missing test-jar issue.
So it probably still uses 2.2.

Do I have to introduce this setting into all POMs with
<packaging>jar</packaging>?

The reason it got stuck was that many POMs had explicit
maven-surefire-plugin configs, locking to <version>2.3</version>.

A residue from a workaround from some earlier problem if I recall
correctly.

Removing those settings makes
 maven clean install -DskipTests
run through without failing (because it builds the test jars, and the
dependencies are satisfied, presumably...?).

Hmno... it seems to be stuck in the same sink hole it gets stuck in,
when I try using -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore.  It gets a lot of
compilation errors caused by missing symbols, and then the build just
hangs.

Locking maven-jar-plugin to version 2.1 seems to be the least intrusive
approach.  I'll try that first.

Thanx!  In addition to saving my fingers from typing, it seems to have
the effect that I don't get the dependency failures.

So... I won't have to try out any of the workarounds I pondered during
lunch...:-)  (either removing the <scope>test</scope> dependencies, or
locking maven-jar-plugin to version 2.1 in the top POM)

Thanx again!

Hi,
In order to save your fingers :-), you can use -DskipTests (with surefire 2.4)
This will compile test classes but not execute units.

The fix is to make no test-jar on maven.test.skip.

This fix may have created a new bug, but I'm unsure of which plugin has
the bug (ie. what plugin to report it on).  Is it maven-surefire-plugin
or maven-dependency-plugin=

I cleaned up my repo today to build our project from scratch.  And then
it failed on "mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip" on dependencies with
      <scope>test</scope>
      <type>test-jar</type>

The reason they failed are because the test-jar files are no longer
present.  But since they have <scope>test</scope> they shouldn't be
resolved with "-Dmaven.test.skip".  Or at least I think they shouldn't. 

(we have some test cross dependencies, that makes it neccessary to run
through with maven.test.skip before we run with tests)
