Hi Maruan, In my opinion, it is a good idea.
As these files are independant of PDFBox version, we could create a hierarchy of directory in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/ (not in trunk). As for PDF/A isartor test suite set of file, we could create subdirectories to group files per types of error. When we made preflight, we created a file expected_errors.txt, containing information on expected error code returned by the API. it could be a good idea to have something similar.
