I have a project which contains a web-project (JSF) and a supplemental project which contains the integration test for the web-project (selenium tests).

I've had the problem to use classes within my integration test module from the web-project (src/main/java)...so the solution is to configure the maven-war-plugin like the following:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <attachClasses>true</attachClasses>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

which works perfectly on command line (mvn clean verify)...

My integration test module has the following dependencies whereas the first one is needed to make sure the reactor-order is correct and the second is needed to have the required classes available.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
      <artifactId>web-project</artifactId>
      <version>${project.version}</version>
      <type>war</type>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
      <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
      <artifactId>web-project</artifactId>
      <version>${project.version}</version>
      <classifier>classes</classifier>
      <type>jar</type>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

my current problem is if i select to start an integration test via Eclipse i need manually add the web-project as a dependency to get the tests running (TestNG tests). 

I'm not sure if this is an issue in m2e or in TestNG Eclipse plugin.
