Scott Carey commented on AVRO-716:
----------------------------------

There is a way to share test utilities.  We just create a -tests artifact that 
downstream artifacts can declare in test scope.

Example: 
http://www.waltercedric.com/java-j2ee-mainmenu-53/361-maven-build-system/1349-maven-reusing-test-classes-across-multi-modules-projects.html

Making this a tool however makes it easier to do the interop tests by simply 
using the tool in avro-tools.jar to generate the data.   I suppose calling a 
main method on RandomData from avro-1.5.0-tests.jar would be easy as well.

> We have legacy ant and ivy items in lang/java that need to be removed or 
> reduced.   
> 'ant clean' 'and compile' and 'ant test' can simply forward to maven, we 
> might still want to have ant drive interop tests, and it is useful to have 
> ant around as a tool.
> Additionally, buildbot currently fails and build.sh from the top level does 
> not properly build Java.
