I have some new fuzz testing stuff. It depends on TestUtils which is in daffodil-core, but lives in the src/test, so isn't in the packaged daffodil jars.
I want to use this stuff to test separate DFDL schemas. Those depend on the packaged daffodil jars. TestUtils is effectively an application layer on top of daffodil-core/runtime1; however, there are 241 references to it from within daffodil-core/src/test, so it's heavily used there. What's a sensible reorganization of things so as to still be able to use TestUtils inside daffodil-core, but also be able to use it for DFDL schema testing outside of daffodil entirely? The simplest thing is just to move it from src/test/scala to src/main/scala. Then other things can depend on it, nothing about tests in daffodil-core changes either. Another possibility is to move TestUtils to a daffodil-test-tools module, but then the tests that depend on this module have to move out of daffodil-core because daffodil-test-tools will depend on core. Yet a third possibility is to publish a daffodil-core test jar so that others can depend on things in daffodil-core src/test.
