How much manual change is required in the IDE configuration for that? Assuming we start with a pom.xml import?

IntelliJ for example would not like the fact that we would need to define a total of 4 different compilation output directories for a single project (what IntelliJ calls module). So we need to find the balance that works best in command line as well as IntelliJ and Eclipse.

This creates a semi-circular dependency but Gradle and IntelliJ can deal with it because the nature of the deps is limited in such a way that hibernate-testing would depend on classes from hibernate-core and hibernate-core would depend on hibernate-testing for it's test-classes. No clue if this would work in Eclipse.

To be honest I have no idea how much use it gets in that way. If the answer here is no then the problem becomes a little simpler in that we could just compile the hibernate-testing classes would just be part of hibernate-core/src/test/java and would get compiled along with the test classes into test-classes. Gradle itself has this set up so we have a template we could easily follow for this approach. Worst case we could use this approach and still build the additional hibernate-testing jar for upload using include/exclude definitions to get the correct classes into the jar.

One concern I had with them that I need to verify works is compiling unit tests and intg tests into the same output directory and whether separate test tasks could really work there. Also I need to decide whether that really matters.
