What do you mean inherit JARs?
Do you mean use the same version of JAR for an entire build?

Look at the betwixt tests to see how to do this. The betwixt tests run
in the commons reactor and work in and outside the reactor. Any
resources that you use in tests need to use the notion of the ${basedir}
which maven will set correctly. I was thinking of making a simple set of
abstract classes for tests to make this easier but haven't got there
yet. But the betwixt AbstractTestCase will give you an idea of what to
do to fix this.

That's good to know, noted.
