when i added a dependency that was zip file
eg

```xml

hsqldb
hsqldb

```

this file was not included in the test classpath and so the test would not pass

Start by reading this issue’s discussion and the linked MNG-2500 issue about zip files missing from the test classpath. Trace how the example dependency with type zip is handled when Maven builds the test classpath; done means that dependency is included there.
