---------------------------------------------------------------
Using test data is not always the only reason to have a tests.jar artifact from
a project. Another reason is when a project extends another project then it may
want to also the base project's test classes as part of its own test suite. Do
you see a downside to the project producing a tests.jar artifact?
Also, please see my comment on IMAGING-85 on why I think it is not unusual to
load test data from the classpath in junit tests.
Feel free to close the issue if you and other dev team members are still -1 on
this.
