Description

When enabling the dependency report of the project info reports plugin and generating the site for a multi-module project, it appears that the classpaths being constructed for the compile and surefire plugins are being altered. This only occurs when the dependency report is enabled, i.e. the build succeeds and the site can be generated without the dependency report enabled.

I've attached a simple maven project which demonstrates the failure. You can observe the successful build by running "mvn clean install site:site", and the failure scenario by enabling the profile "projectReports": mvn clean install site:site -P projectReports. You can also find debug logs attached for both a successful build and a failed build.

The build failure is caused by improperly adding the test jar artifact for project-a to the testCompile classpath of project-c. In the successful build scenario, project-c will receive the primary project-a jar artifact transitively through interface-b. Even more interesting is the fact that if project-c includes a direct dependency on project-a, the test jar artifact will still be added to the classpath. One final note about the sample project, removing the dependency from project-c to project-b has no impact on the build failure, but removing project-b from the reactor (i.e. comment out the project-b module from the main pom.xml) will cause the failure to go away.

This problem does not occur with version 2.0.1 of the project info reports plugin. I also tried Maven 2.1-M1 to see if the problem might be resolved there, but the classpath corruption still occurs.

The root cause of this problem may actually lie in a shared component like maven-dependency-tree, but I found it originally through the use of the project info reports plugin so I figured this would be a good place to start tracking it down.
