I noticed that there's no built in way to copy test resources from one submodule to a submodule that depends on it. What is the recommended way to include this file: `core/src/test/resources/logback-test.xml` ?

To the relevant build directory of all of these submodules that depend on the core module:
```submodule1/build/resources/test
submodule2/build/resources/test
...```

Sounds like you are after the java test fixtures plugin: <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_testing.html#sec:java_test_fixtures|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_testing.html#sec:java_test_fixtures>

If you want to reuse classes and resources for tests, you might want extracting them as a standalone -testkit module, and use it as dependency

What would be the benefit over using the java test fixtures plugin?

-testkit could be published and consumed by third-party code

The plugin defines a feature variant that you can choose to publish
