Chad Lyon commented on MJAR-68:
-------------------------------

The problem is actually in the resolution of dependencies.  I have a 
multi-module project.  The project packages up a test JAR in the first module 
in the reactor order.  This JAR is needed by the tests of the other modules.  
If my local repository is clean and I try to build while specifying 
-Dmaven.test.skip=true then two things happen that cause the build to fail:

-The building of the test JAR is skipped because tests are skipped.
-Skipping of tests does not instruct the dependency resolver for the other 
modules to NOT download the test JAR of the first module.

Thus, I must first get the test-jar packaged up and in my local repo before my 
build can succeed.  I can either run with tests or specify 
-Dmaven.test.execute=false

I think the proper fix for this would be to fix the resolution of dependencies. 
 Basically, if tests are skipped then don't check for deps that are scope=test.

This problem seems to be related to MJAR-90.  I bet before this fix went in 
this issue didn't exist.
