oh, yes it changes the bytecode ... but not the sources ... meaning that in
Ant for example, you run one target for unit testing and another one for
deploying without testing (or you can even leave testing on, which is also
great because the tests are then also exercised on the user's machine and
sometimes you'll find that your test was not machine independent or the
like).
