Maven 2.x Plugin Testing

Consider testing a plugin in the following multi-module project structure:

project
+- api
+- maven-plugin (dependencies: api)

PluginTestTool.preparePluginForUnitTestingWithMavenBuilds will only install a test version of the plugin into the test repository with dependency to the current version of the api module. We really need a test version of the api module to also be installed into the test repository and the plugin dependency version updated accordingly.

For example, if the above project's version is 1.0-SNAPSHOT, we currently get the following test repository:

project:maven-plugin:testVersion (dependencies: project:api:1.0-SNAPSHOT)
project:api:1.0-SNAPSHOT

Whereas we want:

project:maven-plugin:testVersion (dependencies: project:api:testVersion)
project:api:testVersion
