This hasn't changed. You can put directories containing the test classes 
+ resources on the class path as before. When testing modules you can 
patch a module to add the test classes (and resources) that are compiled 
into a directory, no need for either the module or the tests to be 
packaged as JAR files.

Maybe your comment is about testing libraries that are Multi-Release JARs?
