Description

I creates a custom artifact type, bndl, along with test-bndl. It is identical to the jar type/packaging, except for that fact that the archives have a .bndl extension instead of .jar
Futhermore, I create a bundle-plugin to handle the artifact's package phase (I attached the plexus/components.xml). The new lifecycle, always creates the test-bndl attachment, such that all projects will have both the .bndl artifact, and -tests.bndl attachment.

I am also using an ant plugin, ajtest-plugin. This plugin is invoked during the test phase of the bndl type, and is ant script that uses the maven-artifact-ant tasks (I attached the script as well). To sum it up, the ant script runs the junit test using the aspectJ weaving classloader.

For the purpose of the issue, I am going to simplify my project structure:

util:
<groupId>com.dcx.NGST</groupId>
<artifactId>util</artifactId>
<packaging>bndl</packaging>
<version>1.20-SNAPSHOT</version>

upgrade:
<groupId>com.dcx.NGST</groupId>
<artifactId>upgrade</artifactId>
<packaging>bndl</packaging>
<version>1.20-SNAPSHOT</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.dcx.NGST</groupId>
<artifactId>util</artifactId>
<version>1.20-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>test-bndl</type>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependencies>

When running the ajtest-plugin during the test phase of the build, I get an artifact resolution error on com.dcx.NGST:util:test-bndl:1-20-SNAPSHOT.
It is unable to download repository/com/dcx/NGST/util/1.20-SNAPSHOT/util-1.20-SNAPSHOT.test-bndl.

It appears it doesn't know that test-bndl is .bndl artifact attachement. The .bndl packaging is defined in the bundle-plugin, not the ajtest-plugin. I was able to work around this by copying the plexus/components.xml file into the ajtest-plugin, but it would be nice if i didn't have to duplicate it.
