Hi Chris and everyone,

Makes sense as to why Eclipse does not discriminate.

Correct. I should have been more clear in my question. I am referring to
the artifact bar-1.9.0-SNAPSHOT-tests.jar.

Actually, that isn't true. It does deploy. At least it does for me. It
seems to deploy both to my local repo as well as to Nexus.
And if I add a dependency like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>dao</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<type>test-jar</type>
</dependency>
it works (whether it officially is supposed to). This dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>dao</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<type>test</type>
</dependency>
does not.
That is my question. Thanks, guys!
