Description

There appears to be a regression in maven 3 that breaks test-jar dependency exclusions. I've attached a simple example to reproduce this. There are two projects: foo and bar. Project foo produces a test-jar artifact. Project bar depends on foo's test-jar but excludes a dependency on junit. In maven 2, a dependency:list shows that junit has successfully been excluded. In maven 3, a dependency:list shows that junit was not successfully excluded.

To reproduce, download the maven-testcase.tar.gz attachment and run:

$ tar xzvf maven-testcase.tar.gz
$ cd maven-testcase/foo
$ mvn2 install
$ cd ../bar
$ mvn2 dependency:list
...
