What would you do?


Create a jar containing the test classes. If other projects depend on these tests, then
they are a valid artifact produced by the project and no longer "just test classes".


I run into this situation frequently when I have one component which defines a set of
interfaces, and also tests for these interfaces. Then, I have another component which implements
the interfaces, and the tests need to reference the interface tests.


So, I'm in the habit of producing test jars along side the normal ones. [collections] does something
similar to this.
