+Convenience dependency for testing plugin components for the Jdisc container
+with the `application` test tool. This artifact should contain all libraries
+that are used internally by Vespa. Add this maven artifact as a **test** scope
+dependency in your pom.xml to transitively pull in all dependencies needed to unit test
+JDisc components.
+
+This should always be used in conjunction with a `provided` scoped dependency
+on the `container` artifact, which contains all internal and 3rd party artifacts
+that are exposed in Vespa's public APIs. (Internal Vespa developers should instead
+use the `container-dev` artifact.)
