In principle, I agree to some extent. I want the tests as close to the classes under test as possible. Initially, the problem was the sequence of dependencies between runtime and bootstrap (the latter depended on the former), which is now gone. And I have been moving tests from qi4j-tests repo to qi4j-core, but every here and there are dependencies on libraries or even extensions, making those tests nailed to a location after those repos are built. So, feel free to move tests from qi4j-tests to qi4j-core if you can find any more that are possible. Further; qi4j-tests is in a mess by itself. So, I have for long been thinking of changing the structure there a lot, regression/, integration/ and performance/ comes to mind, where performance/ is not a unit test suite, but something to execute as an application, i.e. current cruft can effectively be removed for now.
