Why is Eclipse reporting a JUnit compilation error when I can compile and run the test fine in a terminal?

I’m using Eclipse Juno with Java 6 on Mac 10.9.5. I have a Maven (using version 3.2.3) project, “my project” and am trying to compile and run (within Eclipse) a JUnit test that uses a class from another project. In my JUnit test, I have

import org.mainco.subco.test.utils.AbstractNTsubcoTests;

which produces the Eclipse compilation error, “The import org.mainco.subco.test.utils.AbstractNTsubcoTests cannot be resolved.” I have this dependency in “myproject”’s pom.xml file …

        <dependency>
                <groupId>org.mainco.subco</groupId>
                <artifactId>other project</artifactId>
                <version>${project.version}</version>
                <type>test-jar</type>
                <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

which includes the class. Also, in Eclipse, I include the other project that has this class. In a terminal, I can compile and run this Just test just fine. I tried running

mvn eclipse:eclipse

in the terminal in my “myproject”’s root directory and refreshing “my project” within Eclipse (even restarted Eclipse). Yet still, this compilation error remains. How do I make it go away and get my test to compile and run within Eclipse?

I know the question is quite old, but this also happened to me using latest eclipse version in 2020.

In the end, I had to configure the build path of the project, and in the "Source" tab, scroll down to src/test/java folder and change "Contains test resources" from false to true (double click).
