I am not renaming any test plugin. Currently there are two core test 
plugins, the one from 5 years ago, and the one made this past year with 
parametized junit tests to automatically expand on creation of new 
server adapters etc.

All of the tests were slowly ported over, most of them when we created 
the eap6.1 server adapter. Rather than add yet another test method to 
old outdated classes, I'd simply port the test class into the new 
plugin, make it parametized, make sure it auto-tests new server types, 
and then I'd de-activate the old test.

We're now at the point where the old test plugin has 0 tests. 
Technically one is still active, but thats just so the test plugin 
doesnt fail with "no tests found". Also I obviously can't remove the 
utility methods which others (like esb etc) may use.

There's no RUSH for me to remove the test plugin, but there's also 
absolutely no reason for the plugin to remain around either. It 
currently sits there and does nothing, so it'd be nice to remove it if 
nobody is using it. if people are using it, they're likely also using 
outdated ways of testing things (deployment etc) or outdated apis.

So... I'm not renaming any plugin.
