weird behaviour of archive task with multiple projects

In a multiple project environment, java and web plugins used.
Running the gradle archive_war -Dskip.test=true command will result in generating a WAR file NOT including the depending jar from required sub-projects in the archive file.

In case of deploying to a repository, it would be wise to either disable test skipping, by either launching an error, or a warning to point out that no deploy can be done without complete testing.
