Description

There are some classes, notably TestServer, which are in the nifi standard processors jar which could be used by other processors, either in the project ( already 2 or 3 copies ) or in 3rd party processor/controller projects.

link Apache Maven details how to handle this case in two ways.

 

1.  create a test-jar from the project
2. create a new module to hold shared testing code and scope:test include it

While #2 is the preferred way, nifi should support #1 in the interim, until some discussion on the location and structure of the test module(s) and the classes that should be moved to them happens.  The scope there will be quite a bit larger.
