Build Identifier: I20110613-1736

maven-war-plugin allows packaging the classes into a separate attached jar artifact instead of war artifact itself.

When another project depends on the attached artifact, m2e fails to configure JUunit runner classpath correctly. /target/classes directory of the war project is missing from the classpath.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create project test1, use war packaing and maven-war-plugin <attachClasses> option
2. Create a class under test1/src/main/java
3. Create a test under test1/src/test/java
4. Build the project from the command line - tests succeed, all is fine.
5. Run all tests in test1 project using JDT JUnit runner, all is fine.
6. Create project test2, add dependency on test1, using <classifier>classes</classifier>
7. Add classes and tests in test2/ referencing classes from test1/src/main/java - eclipse reports no compilation, errors.
8. Build test2 project from command line, tests succeed, all is fine.
9. Build test2 using m2e, using external / internal Maven installation, workspace resolution on and off, all is fine.
10. Run tests in test2 using JDT JUunit runner - tests fail with NoClassDefFoundError on classes from test1/src/main/java
11. Set breakpoint in a test inside test2 project before NCDFE is triggered. Examine ClassLoader classpath - test1/target/classes is missing. Interestingly test1/target/test-classes is present!
