Getting "Compilation error" every time when I configure maven project with generic archetype in Jenkins

Question

I am configuring maven project with generic archetype[selenium:webdriver-testNg-archetype] in Jenkins. I have project Hierarchy as shown in attached screenshot 1. When I configure it with jenkins every time I get "compilation error" [as show n in attached screenshot 2] but I do not get this error when I execute the test suit through eclipse.

I have another question : When I configure simple maven project with simple testcase, it runs successfully on Jenkins but when I configure project that has hierarchy[like screenshot 1] then every time I get "Compilation error" for tests package does not exists.

Do we have any settings in Jenkins where we can set path for tests package? OR What changes should I do to solve this particular issue?

And Here is my pom.xml

in `SignInPage` you are referencing a class from `src/test/java`? — Apostolos, Jul 12 '16 at 09:59
Your main classes shouldn't reference your tests, but If you want this (bad practice) to succeed you can add your test directory as a source see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/270445/maven-compile-with-multiple-src-directories — Revive, Jul 12 '16 at 10:02
@ I-Love-2-REVIVE : I referred the link that you have given, but unfortunately solutions dint work for me, When I include path in resouces tag, in effect of this my hierarchy changes. — Rohhit, Jul 12 '16 at 10:58

src/test/java is a folder were you put all your tests. you shouldnt reference your test classes from within src/main/java folder Please fix your classes.

Ya it worked .....but I cannot change the hierarchy, tests will remain in src/test/java only. any solution in this case ? – Rohhit Jul 12 '16 at 11:01
what do you mean? i didnt get it. tests should remain there. what exactly do you need to do? sorry i didnt understand – Apostolos Jul 12 '16 at 11:09
did you remove the reference to `CommonTest` from `SignInPage` class? what is the new error? – Apostolos Jul 12 '16 at 11:16
If I remove CommonTest Reference then, some of the methods on SignInPage wont work. CommonTest class is extended in SignInPage – Rohhit Jul 12 '16 at 11:27
OK so you have a wrong structure at your project. IN order for this project to work, you should copy the test classes to `src/main/java` but this is bad practice. you should distinguish the test classes from the main classes. You can reference the main classes from the test classes but not the opposite. – Apostolos Jul 12 '16 at 11:30
that's the point of maven! to organize your code, your dependencies and your tests :) – Apostolos Jul 12 '16 at 11:44
