gwt:test fails because test classes not compiled

[Eric]

I'm trying out Maven for the first time on a multi-module GWT project,
and I've reached a roadblock. When I try 'install' on the parent
project, the test phase fails with a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. I checked my WEB-INF/
classes directory, and it turned out that none of the test classes
were ever compiled. How do I set up testing correctly?

I'm using the latest release of the gwt-maven-plugin and am running in
Eclipse 3.5. If that matters, I'm not afraid to go back to a command
line.

Respectfully,

Hi Eric,

It would be easier to investigate if you gave the full stack trace.

That wasn't exactly the problem. The test class was compiled to the
(standard) test-compile directory; reading the documentation helps.
This makes the NoClassDefFoundError more mysterious.
