Both Piotr and I have responded to that Jira issue and I marked it as resolved. We do publish test jars. They just no longer use a classifier.
Volkan, the test jars we publish are expected to be used for public consumption. Note that I did NOT include Json Template Layout’s test jar in the distribution zip but if it doesn’t have the skip deploy property set then it is still being published to Maven Central. You would know best of users would need that for some reason but I kind of doubt it. Just to clarify, the test jars we publish contain NO unit tests, only the testing framework classes we use.
