A reasonable way forward is to go with pre-baked jar files (it’s not making the 
current situation particular any worse) then lets try and clear up this aspect 
in a later push, hopefully using a common mechanism that can be used by all 
such tests that need to construct jar files.

We need a CCC, so i suggest if tests are not ready and approved by the time the 
CCC is approved then we push what we have.
