Dependency on test class

[Petr Adamek]

Hello,
I want to split my project "xiqe" into smaller subprojects, but I have 
found one problem.
The xiqe-storage subproject contains the interface Converter and the 
helper class
ConverterAbstractTestCase. Each implementation of Converter interface 
has its own
test class that extends the ConverterAbstractTestCase class. This works 
perfectly
for Converter implementations in the same subproject.

But I have problem with other subprojects. The ConverterAbstractTestCase 
class is in
test directory and it is not copied into xiqe-storage artefact jar file 
and test classes
in other subprojects can't extend it. I don't want move it into main 
directory because
it depends on junit.

Is there any way how to define and solve dependency on classes from test 
directory? Or what
is correct approach to solve this problem?

|  +- src
|     +- main
|     |  +- java
|     |     +- org.xiqe.storage.converters.Converter
|     +- test
|        +- java
|           +- org.xiqe.storage.converters.ConverterAbstractTestCase
+- core (depends on storage)
   +- src
      +- main
      |  +- java
      |     +- org.xiqe.structures.dom.NodeConverter (implements Converter)
      +- test
         +- java
            +- org.xiqe.structures.dom.NodeConverterTest (extends 
ConverterAbstractTestCase)
