How to configure pom to run tests packaged in a jar?

Question

I have a maven build process that publishes executable jars and their tests to Nexus. I have another maven build process that needs to access these jars (executable + test)

Answer 1

The attached test-jar can be used as a usual dependency in other project which supports reuse of code in the test area but you can't run tests out of the jar. If you really need the solution you have to write at least a single suite (etc.?) to start the tests from the jar.
