       Body:
I agree this would be an useful feature, specially when you develop components with points of extension. In these cases, you could provide test cases that would be extended by applications using your component.

Of course, we could create another project for that, but I think it would be much easier if Maven packaged these test cases in the same project.

Description:
I have mock objects defined in my src/test tree.  Other projects then use these mock objects for their tests.  With Maven, test classes are not included in the distribution jars.  Searching the mailing list, this seems to be a common need.  The only viable solution I've seen is to move the mock objects to the src/java tree.  I don't like this at all.  I'd like to propose a new property:

maven.jar.include.test.classes

it could be false by default.  Setting it to true would include the test classes in the jar.  I consider test code just as important as my application code, so this option makes a lot of sense to me.  I don't see any reason not to include, but at least adding the property would give the user the choice.
