RE: [eclipselink-dev] I'd like to move the test framework code.

I am interested in the road map of achieving the 2nd goal:
- allow them to run without recompiling the EclipseLink product jar(s).

Hi,

I am currently working on the testing builds, with two goals:
 - bring them up to the agreed standards of the product builds, and
 - allow them to run without recompiling the EclipseLink product jar(s).

During this effort, it has become apparent, that with a little more work 
things could be made much easier for testing - both for our team, and 
for users of EclipseLink. One of the things that would make testing 
easier is to separate tests from the testing infrastructure. This would 
allow the infrastructure to be built once and depended upon by the 
tests, rather than having the test projects rely on a spaghetti plate of 
inter-dependencies.

The change for development should simply mean another project in eclipse 
that needs to be added once before tests will compile.

I've opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=294732 to 
track discussion about this issue. Please comment. I want to find out if 
there is any pressing reason or strong opinions not to do this.

Thanks.

-Eric
