Toni, Thanks for your response and suggestion.
I guess I failed to mention that all of the projects are already grouped together. There is one "parent" pom which lists them as modules. When "mvn clean test" is executed from this level, all the tests do in fact run. It's just that the tests run independently. api-func-tests are built, deployed and executed. They exercise ref-impl because it's listed as a dependency in the api-func-tests pom. What we'd like is when it gets to real-impl-func-tests, for api-func-tests to be bound to real-imp and exercise that. Essentially we want to avoid duplicating the api-func-tests for both ref and real impls. We want to have a set of implementation independent tests and then bind them to a specific implementation at a later time.
