Brian Fox commented on MNG-3259: -------------------------------- Its not as scary as you think. It seems to be related to the fact that you are excluding the same artifacts in some places, but want them in test scope in others. I think this is a rare occurance. You should be able to just add the ones you want as test scope. I'll try to look some more, but if it's not an easy fix then we have to bump it. The chances of it breaking other behavior is probably greater. Also, this isn't a windows only issue, i have reproduced it on solaris. For me it only happens on jdk 1.5 or less. > Regression: Maven drops dependencies in multi-module build > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3259 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3259 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 2.0.7, 2.0.8 > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Assignee: Brian Fox > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 2.0.8 > > Attachments: MNG-3259-2.zip, MNG-3259.zip > > Time Spent: 5 hours > Remaining Estimate: 0 minutes > > Under some circumstances Maven "forgets" about test dependencies in > multi-module builds. The affected module can be build only if the build is > started from its local project directory. If the build is run from a parent > directory, the test fails because of missing classes. This issue applies to > M207 and recent M208-RC1, the project can be build without problems with M205 > (M206 is completely bogus). The problem was for us already the show stopper > for M207 and I thought with some of the now resolved issues it has been gone, > but I was wrong. I did not report it earlier, because I was never able to > reproduce the problem with a minimal build ... until now and it took me about > 3 days to create a demonstrating multi module project. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
