Maven - How do I create source jar for test package?

MasterJoe2 :

I have a Maven project called my-work which has two source directories src/test/java and src/main/java. I needed to convert both of them into one JAR file so that other projects could use them, but I ended up converting them into two separate JARs. Now, I need to be able to create source JARs for each of these two JARs.

I first created two JARs from main/ and test/ directories by adding this to my pom.xml:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>test-jar</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Then, I tried the instructions here to make sources JARs. The problem is that it only creates one source JAR i.e. my-work-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar. But, I want it to also create my-work-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-tests-sources.jar. How do I do that?

Here is the full POM:

To generate both standard source and test source JARs, use the following plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>attach-sources</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>test-jar</goal>
                <goal>jar</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Note that this will not generate a test JAR (only a standard JAR). To generate both a standard and test JAR, you can use the following plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>test-jar</goal>
                <goal>jar</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
