How can I exclude the test package from the source folder in the ant build file?

Question

I have the following declaration in my build.xml file, in my src folder I have my own test package, which I do not want to include in my process. How can I get scrdir to read everything from $ {src.dir} except the test suite?

<target name="compile">  
    <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}"/>
</target>
