Description

A module in cocoon has following dependencies :

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cocoon</groupId>
<artifactId>cocoon-core</artifactId>
<version>2.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>tests</classifier>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cocoon</groupId>
<artifactId>cocoon-core</artifactId>
<version>2.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

The first dependency is created by the core module using :

<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

Now i would like the module to depend on the jar with classifier "tests" during the testing phase ie cocoon-core-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT-tests.jar, and during the normal compilation phase it should just use cocoon-core-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. IMO above dependencies express exactly this.

The problem is that maven somehow removes all transitive dependencies from cocoon-core-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar when both dependencies are in place, breaking compilation. When i remove the dependency with the classifier, then all is fine (but ofcourse my tests can't run)

I hope above is clear, otherwise just ping me on irc
