+1 we need to fix this. :) It's obviously already well out-of-date each
time we move around configs (as we've been doing in preparation for 1.8).

+1 Yes, if we released dspace-api test, then you could add it as a
dependency to other modules rather easily. For example, I've been
playing around with DSpace Services a bit, and since
'dspace-services-impl' releases its tests as an artifact, I can add them
as a dependency as follows:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
<artifactId>dspace-services-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.0.3</version>
<type>test-jar</type>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Again, this works because Maven Central actually has a
'dspace-services-impl-2.0.3-tests.jar' artifact. If we did a similar
thing for dspace-api, then we could similarly define it as a dependency.

I wonder if there's a way we can just "auto-build" a test DSpace
directory at the point of Unit Testing? Not sure how hard that is though.
If we could find a way to do that, then Issue 1 wouldn't happen, and it
also wouldn't matter too much whether we enable/disable testing by
default. (Unless I'm missing other issues here?)
