[MJAR-68] multi module release fails because of test-jar

• Type: Bug

Description

The release plugin is failing in the prepare task

mvn release:prepare

seemingly because it can't find the test-jar that has just been built by the previous module i.e. built within.

Are there some examples in the wild of using the test-jar on a multi module project that does releases?

The (nasty) workaround I have for now, is to wait for the build to fail and then

mvn install

So the test-jar (and other artifacts) are in my local repository and then continue

mvn release:prepare
