Re: [aether-users] Resolving test dependencies using aether

Yes, that's what we did, we set a custom DependencySelector and now
it's transitively pulling down the test dependencies of each
dependency. That's actually not the behavior we want (sorry, I was
unclear in the original post). The behavior that we're looking to
mimic with aether is really:

mvn dependency:copy-dependencies

With copying test resources enabled. Is this possible with aether? Thank you.

We've tried a whole bunch of things, but none of them have worked so far. A simple way of reproducing this is to change the demo ResolveTransitiveDependencies class here: https://github.com/sonatype/sonatype-aether/blob/master/aether-demo/src/main/java/demo/ResolveTransitiveDependencies.java to use the test scope like this: https://gist.github.com/1304798
