Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-2609:
---------------------------------------
My problem with the large JAR file is: as its build on "ant package" its
shipped with final binary ZIP and this one is huge already!
I (and lots of others) prefer to ship a small jar file to the user, that helps
developing Lucene-based test cases, e.g to check TokenStreams (thats my main
issue). BaseTokenSteamTestCase should be really available to everyone as a
public and supported JAR file. This was my personal idea behind that one.
I propose to do it in a different way:
Let's split up test source and build files into two folders: src/test-base and
src/test, compiled to build/test-base and build/test and can separately zipped.
Both of them are compiled separately so self-contained. The test simply import
both target lib folders and all should work. The test-base build foder is the
only one jared as class files and mabe also get javadocs. The original tests
are not part of this.
This would help both developers and users:
- new developers have a set of javadoced base classes againt those they need to
write their tests
- users can reuse our cool checker/assert/... classes to check their own
developments by simply adding a jar file (please, withot sources, we also dont
package sources into lucene-core.jar).

> The test classes are useful for writing unit tests for code external to the
