in preparation to removing all Java compilation products from the repository so that we can eventually compile and test with different JDK versions. We use Maven to compile all Java test sources up-front, each test directory becomes a module. This is significantly faster than calling javac directly for each test directory (because of javac start-up time).
This PR includes the integration of the compilation process (first commit) and two examples how it is going to be used:
There are several test directories that require different kinds of custom compilation, using Jasmin, ASM, etc, which can be handled by customising the build process in the pom.xml files of each test module.
