Yes, it's feasible to move the tests around.  The maven unit test
convention I understand, and it is straightforward to adhere to it,
but what should the structure be for the end-to-end tests?  Right now
these are under the root-level "tests" directory, and there are tests
for various combinations of framework and connectors.  Each of these
under Maven should have its own directory and its own pom.xml, no?
They'd have no code under src/main/java and the test code would be
under src/test/java, correct?
