By adreghiciu:

Moving to external is not an option as that will mean many classes will change (package import).
My conclusion wrt "internal" was wrong as usually those classes are not tests just components or utility classes. So, I applied this strategy:

Include in tests jar all classes that are not ending with Test or IT and which are not in a package named "internal"
