Answer 1

You have to specify classpathScope and includePluginDependencies or includeProjectDependencies parameters to pickup jar files on the classpath.

Here is an example:

           
                java
                com.google.jstestdriver.JsTestDriver
                test
                true
                true
                --port 9876
