-------------------------------------

bq. It's always hard to argue with arguments like that. I don't know what it 
will need in the future, but I'd bet not much more. And if it will, we can just 
include that file.

I agree it was a bad argument, here's what I was trying to express:

My concerns rotate around slowing down the development of the tests themselves, 
which are not sexy to work on
and always need more improvements, serious cleanup work, complete rewrites, 
mega-refactors, etc. So I think 
if we are going to provide test stuff to users, we need to be extra cautious 
about hindering our own development.

> The test classes are useful for writing unit tests for code external to the 
> Lucene project. It would be helpful to build a jar of these classes and 
> publish them as a maven dependency.
