Hi Pierre, The way I solved this for myself was to create a test project and put all the common test code in it (as normal stuff, not as test stuff) then I used the test project in all other projects as a dependency. This way I have access to the common test stuff. then to ensure that the extra project (jar) does not make it in the final package I declared it as test in it`s dependency scope.
Extending the above principle I usually have two such jars for my projects, one that is all the common code used in all tests, there I place all the generic stuff that can be reusable and is not specific. Another I will put all the mocks stubs and other such classes that are specific to the high level project. This way all modules will have access to them and I only code my stuff once. Great thing about this is that I can then code unit tests on the test classes. May sound a bit excessive but when people lives depend on the code you produce a bit of paranoia actually help to protect ones sanity. Of course for the stubs parts, to prevent circular dependencies you may have to separate the interface for your library from the implementation, which in time makes for more stable code. The downside is the multiplication of modules. I hope this helps Éric :D.
