Description
`java_test` rule doesn't work as I would expect it should. I would expect to write this and provide mixed Junit tests and utility (also not tests classes) to the `srcs` glob.
Buck version:
```
java_test(
name = 'evict_cache_tests',
srcs = glob(['src/test/java/**/*.java']),
)
```
This doesn't work. Instead, I need this Skylark wrapper to generate JUnit Suites for me: [1]. Even then, it doesn't work because I must separate the utility library with non test sources from the JUnit test sources.
Bazel version:
```
load("//tools/bzl:junit.bzl", "junit_tests")
java_library(
name = "evict_test_utills",
srcs = glob([]),
)
junit_tests(
name = "evict_cache_tests",
srcs = glob(["src/test/java/**/*Test.java"]),# this would only pick test sources
deps = [":evict_test_utills"],
)
```

Research direction
Start by examining the java_test rule and the referenced tools/bzl:junit.bzl wrapper in the issue. Trace how mixed JUnit test and utility sources are handled, including the separate java_library dependency, and define done as allowing the shown java_test glob without a Skylark wrapper or separate dependent library.
