Hi, I'm a relatively new Maven user. I found an exact description of my problem on StackOverflow, but no solution:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10174542/resolving-maven-circular-dependencies-between-test-testhelper-and-project-unde One can easily get around the problem by first building the core project with -Dmaven.test.skip=true. But the Eclipse plugin is not so smart and I can't load my projects in Eclipse. I think this a legitimate case that Maven should be able to solve on its own since the common test classes (Atesthelper in the StackOverflow post) are declared as a test scope dependency. Is there any solution available for this problem (splitting the main project in two is not an option, and it would be a terrible hack just to satisfy a Maven limitation)? Any plugin or configuration trick? Thanks much in advance! Boris
