Grant Ingersoll commented on LUCENE-2609:
-----------------------------------------

Mostly, I think I need the SolrTestCaseJ4 (and thus the Lucene test case, Solr 
change is coming soon) as it is really useful for writing down stream tests 
that test applications that use Lucene/Solr, but if it's too big of a problem, 
I'm fine with reverting this and Drew and I can just publish our own Jar file.  

bq. except its called from 'ant package', so I will see 'BUILD FAILED' if i 
refactor something that breaks this (lets say I split up LuceneTestCase, etc).

While agree with the "Build Failed" notion in general, I often think that it's 
a bit short sighted in that we make something marginally less annoying for us 
the committers (really, is it that hard to fix?) and much harder for our users 
b/c they have to go re-invent the wheel.  Not everyone is an expert.  We have 
to balance those two.  I think instead of putting up roadblocks on principal to 
these kinds of things, we need to figure out ways to automate them and validate 
them so that it is hard to break.

bq. I see a different tradeoff: 'maybe' breaking an unsupporte .jar to 'always' 
fetching a 7MB useless file ...

As for the 7mb file, really, that's an issue these days?  OK, well if it is 
useless than maybe, but...  At any rate, what, does that take like 30 seconds 
to download, tops?  I downloaded the Freebase dataset last night (1.6GB) for 
fun!

Committed revision 1064066 (3x).
Committed revision 1064068 (trunk) - added more files to testfiles that exist 
only in trunk.

How about some common courtesy here?  Making a decision in the middle of the 
night (for me) to commit something I was working on without getting my input is 
pretty rude.  Is the issue really that urgent that it couldn't wait a few 
hours?  I mean were you all of a sudden forced to download a 7mb file?

> The test classes are useful for writing unit tests for code external to the 
> Lucene project. It would be helpful to build a jar of these classes and 
> publish them as a maven dependency.
