-------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, after adding the 
{color:#14892c}<skip>false</skip>{color} configuration, an empty test-jar was 
produced when maven.test.skip was true. Or rather, it only contained the 
manifest file, but no classes. This is not a solution.  :(

Yes, it's a maven-jar-plugin problem, because it doesn't create the test-jar. 
But Maven itself also takes part in the problem, because it enforces the 
dependencies on the test-jar, although they are not needed when maven.test.skip 
is true. But then again, probably it's not Maven's responsibility to decide 
which dependency is needed and which isn't, neither is it supposed to know 
about the maven.test.skip option.

I suppose the simplest solution would be for maven-jar-plugin to stop checking 
the value of maven.test.skip and let the surefire plugin worry about that 
option. So, maven-jar-plugin will _always_ generate the test-jar.

>             Project: Maven JAR Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.1
>         Environment: jar:test-jar
>            Reporter: Andrew Hughes
>             Fix For: more-investigation
>
>         Attachments: MJAR-138-maven-jar-plugin.patch

> Not sure if this is a bug or improvement...
> Example:
> * ./pom.xml
> * ./moduleA/pom.xml
> * ./moduleB/pom.xml
> Situation:
> * moduleA produces moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar with the jar:test-jar goal
> * moduleB consumes moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar as a 
> <dependency>...<scope>test</scope><dependency>
> Problem:
> * When -Dmaven.test.skip=true the moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar is never built.
> * Then when moduleB tries to build, it's moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar dependency is 
> unresolved. FAIL! Even with -Dmaven.test.skip=true this will fail.
> You might argue that this is a bug with dependency resolution with 
> -Dmaven.test.skip=true - should a missing dependency @ test scope really fail 
> the build??? It probably should - which is why the bug is submitted here :)
> I've no idea what could be done to fix this either?
> ---
> p.s. for anyone with this bug the only workaround I can suggest is running 
> another module...
> ./moduleA-test/pom.xml
> and have 
> <dependency>...<artifactId>moduleA-test<artifactId>...<scope>test</scope></dependency>
