-------------------------------------
@Nicholas: the short answer is

answer is

To me this issue is more of an anti-pattern and the blog explains why: you will
loose dependency management. The patch assumes a way too simple usecase.

> We have project with a few sibling modules:
> * Project
> ----moduleA
> +-- /src/main/java (Common Code)
> +-- /src/test/java (Common Test Framework)
> ----moduleB
> ----moduleC
> +-- /src/main/java (Production Code, depends on moduleA Common code)
> +-- /src/test/java (Production Test Framework, depends on
> moduleA Common Test Framework)
> I dont think there is anything wrong with this project in concept. moduleC's
> "main" code depends son moduleA's "main" code, and moduleC's test code
> depends on moduleA's test code.
> This works if I run 'mvn install', but for rapid development, we often run
> single unit tests and need to be able to run "mvn test" from the top level
> project, which fails.
> For an example, download the attached project and run "mvn test" from the
> trunk directory. It will fail with the error pasted below. Then, run "mvn
> install" and everything works ok. We should be able to run our unit tests
> without having to install first.
