Because the tests depend on JUnit, which the main bundles don't. If
you put them into the same project then the production code can see
JUnit and possibly other dependencies that exist only for the test
cases. I did not want that.

Of course Gerrit now goes to the extreme opposite where there is one
massive classpath for everything. *sigh*
