How to enable maven dependencies available for tests?

[venkatasukumar kommuru]

In Bamboo, I have created a project to run tests exclusively. The following dependency is mentioned in the pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId>
</dependency>

Source and test java classes are compiled successfully. But when tests start executing then I see the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient

Please let me know if these dependencies are available for tests or not. Do I need to place these jars anywhere else other than the local maven repo? Thanks
