I don't think that is actually relevant to the choice of directories.

Most open source Java software I am aware of separates out tests from the
source above the package structure, so src/org/example/Foo.java and
tests/org/example/FooTest.java (or different names for src/tests, such as
maven).  This also has the benefit of tests being able to see
package-protected members without opening them up.
