Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2609:
-------------------------------------

bq. The real tests are compiled later and not jared and reference the jar or 
build/classes/test-base in classpath. Then packages are identical and no 
problems occur.

This is much better, because it resolves some practical concerns.
* the package namespace is unchanged, we can still use pkg-private stuff
* there is no hardcoded list, we can still eclipse-refactor and run 'ant test' 
and the build will not break. So, its 
still easy to refactor tests.

It would require some up-front work to the build etc, but could be good, for 
example to simplify up2date macros
where moduleA's tests depend upon base classes of moduleB (this is currently 
messy).

> 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.
