UnitTest class path

["Albrecht, Matt" <ma...@zilliant.com>]

I'm quite a noob still at Maven, so bare with me if this is a common
question.

I'm tyring to setup my build such that the unit tests have a separate set of
dependencies from the core.  This is because in my unit tests I'm not really
concerned about library "purity", while with the main code I want to keep
the set of dependencies as clean as possible.

Looking at the "test" plugin in CVS, it looks like the classpath is rather
constrained:
        <classpath>
          <pathelement path="${maven.test.dest}"/>
          <pathelement path="${maven.build.dest}"/>
          <path refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
          <pathelement path="${plugin.getDependencyPath('junit')}"/>
        </classpath>

So what are my options here?  Do I create my own test plugin (ugh), create a
<preGoal> that modifies the maven.dependency.classpath (looks difficult to
do correctly), or just eyeball the main classes to ensure the purity?

Oooh, oooh.  Looks like a chance to say "wouldn't it be cool?" if...
        <unitTest>
	     ...
           <dependencies>
               ...

Thanks for any help.

Put your test dependencies in with your build dependencies ... and I know it 
will feel horrible

It would be nice :-) ... and I registered it as a requirement in JIRA a while 
back (http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=MAVEN-806)   :-)
