We have the exact same problem. We currently have no solution other then copying the AbstractXXXTestCase to each project, which is not good obviously. Anybody's thought on this subject is highly appreciated.

Other projects could then depend on that one... regards, Wim On 5/3/05, David Jackman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For what it's worth (probably not much), I think this isn't the best > approach. > Essentially, core has a dependency on the test code of storage. > Expressing the dependency this way will break if any of the following > happens: > * The storage project moves to a new location > * Core's dependency on storage is for a different version than the > current version of storage > * The version of the storage project code on my machine doesn't match > the version that I'm downloading as a dependency for core > If the risk of any of these things is low, then this approach becomes > less dangerous. > > It would be better to have some project (maybe storage, maybe something > else) create a jar that contains this dependency, then have the core > project use the Maven dependency management to get it. > > ..David.. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Petr Adamek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2005 8:57 AM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: Re: Dependency on test class > > baleineca wrote: > > >I am using a preGoal for the test dependency.
