Include test code in another module
Hello, I'm facing an issue with dependencies / class imports. For demonstration purposes, I have created a minimal reproduction repository: https://github.com/stechy1/java-module-test-issue
There are two modules in the repository: submodule1 and submodule2. Submodule2 depends on submodule1. Dependent classes from submodule1 are visible in submodule2 without any issues. Same is for tests. So it means it is possible to create an instance of the class Example1 in the class Example2. Same is possible to do in Test2 with class Test1 from submodule1.
Now the issue come, when java modules are activated. To do so, rename module-info.java.txt to module-info.java. The compilation fail, because class Test1 become not visible in class Test2.
I have my own reasons why I'm trying to reach classes from submodule1 in submodule2. Also module-info is mandatory to be activated, because the whole project is using modules.
Thank you for any ideas how to solve this issue. If you do not understand something, ping me, I will try explain better.

In my case it is a "compilation failure: can not find a symbol "Test1" in "Test2".
Yes, it is required to use modules. I have quite a big project, which uses modules.
Main reason: I wanted to learn, how things works...

Yes, I was thinking about that, but than I will have an issue with module naming.

yeah, but it is kind of not desired in case of tests right?

hm...
1. option is not possible, since I'm generating classes based on some resources and these generated classes should be available to other modules.
2. and 3. will break some stuff in my codebase 😄 For some reason I have to avoid creating module-info in my tests.
