The "Libraries" GUI should allow me to choose whether I want to import the "test" build artefacts from one project into the "Test" classpath of another project. At the moment when you at a dependency on a sub-project to the "Compile Tests" section of the Libraries properties only the actual final build artefacts of the sub-project get added to your classpath. However it's common to create useful utility classes for testing purposes in the Tests source code, which may be re-used by sub-projects. For instance, in my current application I have a "networking" sub-project which defines basic networking protocols, and provides a base class for actual network "message" classes. Other projects import my networking sub-project and define concrete "message" classes from the base class. In order to test these concrete message classes I should be able to define a class in the "Tests" section of my networking project which provides a bas class for testing concrete message classes, which the other projects could then import and use for writing tests. However, as far as I can tell it's not possible to import test classes from a sub-project, so I either have to put this test class in my "Source packages" folder, so it can be shared (ugh), or copy and paste the base test class into every project I'm writing (even worse).
