It's better to create your own Test project/solution. In it you can organize the test logic in suites according to your needs. My previous Java test solution was organised like this:

[Test project name]
   --- [java] //a core of your .jar files
     --- ui module
     --- services module
     --- DB access module
   --- [test] // a core of your test logic
     --- suites
     --- ui module
     --- services module
     --- DB access module
   --- [environments] //property files
     --- UAT 
     --- SIT
