They are simply not part of the artifact maven creates for module2. The artifact maven creates contains just the production code (classes and resources from 'src/main/*') as no one seriously wants to have their unit tests packaged alongsite the final deliverable of the project. If you have shared testing code between two projects, just create a third module containig this shared code and declare it as a dependency in the two other modules with <scope>test</scope> or follow the guide Wanyne pointed you to and create a "test-jar" of the testing code in module2 and reference that with test scope. > Jan -Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
