For what it's worth, I upgraded my cayenne project from junit 3.8.1 to junit4 a couple of weeks ago.
After a couple of days, I decided that upgrading to TestNG made more sense, as it supports everything that junit4 did plus a lot more. The latest versions of TestNG will also run junit tests -- all 1500 of my tests are running under it. A couple of other testing libraries that I have found to be extremely helpful are Mockito and fest. Mockito has greatly reduced the amount of work I needed to write tests, and fest has made the assertions human-readable. No more wondering whether I switched expected with actual.
