But, the > tests themselves are a part of Ant core. Are they? I really hope there are no test classes in ant.jar. The constants can be moved to the tests jar of Ant core (where Ant core likely means org.apache.ant:ant in Maven speak) and ant-testutil. All Maven artifacts that are not org.apache.ant:ant can have a test scope dependency on ant-testutil.
