How to create a jar containing test classes

When you want to create a jar containing test-classes, you would probably want to reuse those classes. There are two ways to solve this:

• Create an attached jar with the test-classes from the current project and loose its transitive test-scoped dependencies.
• Create a separate project with the test-classes.
