Why -Dtest=false?  Just wondering?

Er... not really... not that I know of at least.  Best to put classes  
which are common into the test-support module and then include that  
in the dependents cp with <scope>test</scope>.

Maven won't resolve circular deps, it will just barf.

Is the JMXConnectorTestCase a good example to look at to see whats  
going on?  I'm not sure I follow 100% of what the problem is.  Is it  
not possible/feasible to put all of the common classes used by tests  
into test-support?
