Scott and Stephen, Thank you both for the quick responses. That seems to have worked for me.
For archival purposes the steps that seem to have worked for me are: 1. Modified the configuration for the jar-plugin as specified here http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html 2. In tools I then declared a dependency on mapred using <type>test-jar</type> <scope>test</scope> 3. in mapred I did an mvn install to install the artifacts J On Tue, 2011-07-05 at 15:57 -0700, Scott Carey wrote: > Maven can work with a 'test' dependency, by declaring the dependency of > type "test-jar". > > See > http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/test-jar-mojo.html > > Unfortunately there are some bugs in various Maven plugins so we have been > avoiding using test-jars for now.
