Description

I have a multi-module project where one project produces a normal jar and a test-jar (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/test-jar-mojo.html). Another submodule has a test scoped dependency on the test-jar from the first submodule. For example, this is the structure and produced artifacts for a small sample (attached) I built to reproduce this behavior:

release-test-jar (parent project)
project-with-test-jar (submodule)
=> project-with-test-jar-1.0.jar
=> project-with-test-jar-1.0-tests.jar
project-using-test-jar (submodule)
=> project-user-test-jar-1.0.jar

When I run a 'clean install' the build succeeds. However, when I run a 'release:prepare' the build fails with the following error:

1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
com.rfc:project-using-test-jar:jar:1.1

Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

Then, install it using the command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.rfc -DartifactId=project-with-test-jar \
-Dversion=1.1 -Dclassifier=tests -Dpackaging=test-jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.rfc -DartifactId=project-with-test-jar \
-Dversion=1.1 -Dclassifier=tests -Dpackaging=test-jar -Dfile=/path/to/file \
-Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

Path to dependency:

2) com.rfc:project-with-test-jar:test-jar:tests:1.1

Judging from the stack trace this problem seems to occur during dependency resolution as is declared PrepareReleaseMojo with the annotation "@requiresDependencyResolution test".
