This will work for blackbox integration tests. However, we have also whitebox
integration tests - e.g. we deploy only a few EJB/CDI beans that are part of the
implementation and see how they interact together. And such tests are hard
to keep in separate repo, as they'd get broken every refactoring and would need
awkward classpath setup.

I went such way in the past to add integration test to a project we had no
control of and it was a maintenance nightmare.
