[hibernate-dev] Search test module

[Hardy Ferentschik]

I was not aware that the current setup does not work in Eclipse :(
On the other hand, we haven't had an additional module yet within the
project depending on the testing module.

The duplication of classes is there because of the cycle you mentioned.
It is really a chicken and hen problem. The only solution to completely
remove the duplicates would be moving the tests into a testing module.
I also don't like this option.

The other option would be to ditch the additional hibernate-search-testing
module and go back to the pom "hack" we had initially which was creating a  
jar
of the test classes. We just have to look at the version control history  
to get
it back. I didn't like it initially and somehow preferred the solution
with some duplicated classes. However, if the current setup causes trouble  
we
might as well revert to what we had.

I don't think there is a perfect solution for this issue, except maybe to  
switch
to gradle ;-)
