If you question is - can I use a WAR file as a dependency and get the classes inside the WAR file added to the classpath, the answer is no. This has nothing to do with Maven - it's Java.

I generally try to KISS and adding a module to create a jar to go in a war kinda violates that. But if it's the only way out of this, I'll try it. Oddly, when I remove the <packaging>war</packaging> from the unit test project's dependency list, it works in m2eclipse (which AFIAK is based on M3). In that state, maven 2.0.10 barfs completely and can't even find the dependency which is farther from success than what I've got. I'd really like to see if this is meant to work in Maven or if I'm just DoingItWrong. Thanks for your input Roland, must appreciated!!! -CB On 10/07/2009 10:43 AM, Roland Asmann wrote: > ThatÅ› not the way I meant it...
