You are right to be confused. It is confusing. But it's just historical. I think it is an attempt to match the package naming convention for tests as described at: http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/subcomponents/classlibrary/pkgnaming.html It says that tests should be in packages named: org.apache.harmony.<modulename>.tests The 'tests' packages are a result of integration of contributions that for whatever reason did not use the naming convention. Having said that I think that *none* of the tests current have the correct package names according the that naming convention. Those closest are missing the '<modulename>' before 'tests'. Should we rename our tests to match the convention? (Thus breaking lots of JIRA patches ;-( ).
