Hugo Garza commented on MNG-1378:
---------------------------------
I was able to solve this by moving my test dependencies into the parent POM
that both projects share, but this isn't possible in every case.
I guess the only thing I can do for now is to cast my vote for hopefully
getting this feature implemented. I just learned about test-jar and was excited
that it would just work but then I got my ClassNotFoundException and realized
it was because of my missing transitive test dependencies.

> test-jar transitive dependencies are calculated as per compile scope rather
> than test scope.
> The situation is demonstrated nicely in it0077:
> * module sub1 has a test-scoped dependency of commons-lang
> * module sub2 has a test-scoped dependency of sub1 test-jar
> sub2 tests should inherit the commons-lang transitive dependency. For
> example:
