Creating a single-layer jar from a project with several maven modules - including test classes

Question

I am in a situation where I need to build a thick jar from a project with several maven modules. The project is based on the Selenium / oucumber API.

The structure of my project is as follows

   Parent -- pom
   |
   |__core_module src/main/java --> helper classes for selenium
   |
   |__acme_module src/main/test --> Test Classes for acme project

I tried different ways to create "acme_test.jar", which includes core_module + acme_module. But not one of them helped me.

It is very important to understand how to solve this.

thanks
