Of course you can write unit tests for classes in a war module. Be aware that this is not the best practice. Instead, you are generally encouraged to put your classes and tests in a separate module that produces a jar file, and then depend on that artifact in your war artifact. > Is it the War plugin that's writing the empty test-jar into the local > repository, if so, why is it doing that? I doubt the war plugin is writing the empty test-jar. Run mvn with -X (debug mode) and see what the build info looks like, you may notice something that is oddly/wrongly configured that explains what is going on -- don't forget that parent modules can mix configuration with their children, so your configuration issue may not even be in this module's pom.xml. If you can't sort it out, don't send the full debug log here (attachments are stripped and huge debug logs are annoying to read in email), please post it online somewhere like pastebin.com and send a link here instead.
