Description

I followed the instructions at http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html to create a jar with attached tests.

I have a project with two modules, A and B

B depends on A, and B needs the tests from A as well. Using the 'attached tests' jar works for compilation. However, if module A has a test-scoped dependency of, say, jmock, then when adding the test-jar from module A as a test dependency of B, the test-scoped dependencies that A declares are not picked up by B.

imo, when creating a test-jar from a module, any test-scoped dependencies should follow the test-jar around.
