Peter Ansell commented on MNG-1378:
-----------------------------------
One alternative if you need to depend on a testsuite that is published by a
different module to ensure that the testsuite is published as a "jar", not a
"test-jar", and it is pulled into "test" scope in the local module, with all of
its dependencies. I have used this "testsuite-module" + "testrunner-module"
pattern successfully in the past to publish both concrete and abstract
testclasses, although generally only for compliance tests where a specific
interface or protocol is being tested based on a well known specification.

> test-jar transitive dependencies are calculated as per compile scope rather
> than test scope.
> The situation is demonstrated nicely in it0077:
> * module sub1 has a test-scoped dependency of commons-lang
> * module sub2 has a test-scoped dependency of sub1 test-jar
> sub2 tests should inherit the commons-lang transitive dependency. For
> example:
