| [m2e-users] m2e-wtp: support for test-jar in Eclipse Tomcat deployment |
|
Hello, I have an Eclipse project that is a Web Module (call it
webapp), which I use to deploy my code to a local Tomcat server. The project contains a POM that has
<packaging>war</packaging>. The majority of my code is kept in other Eclipse projects within the same Workspace. All of the other projects’ POMs
have <packaging>jar</packaging>, as you’d expect. I configured the dependencies in the webapp POM to refer to the other project modules and this works just fine for the most part – m2e-wtp does its thing and the Deployment Assembly of webapp gets
updated with references to the dependent projects. I can successfully deploy the webapp project to Tomcat and use all of the classes from my other projects. Everything works fine. The problem comes when I want to access
test classes from my other projects within my webapp deployment. I can’t seem to figure out how to make the test classes visible. I tried adding another dependency, this time qualified with
<type>test-jar</type>, but that doesn’t seem to work. The test classes do not seem to be available to the rest of my code when deployed
in Tomcat. Do I need to do something special to get test classes to show up in my deployed webapp? Is this use of
test-jar type expected to work with m2e-wtp? Thanks in advance for your time. Best regards, scott |
