Hi Benedikt, I do not have any problem with SNAPSHOT version in the branch junit5. Even this can be very easily accomplished. Let's put property, e.g. version.junit5, into [1] and reference to this POM via parent declaration in your root POM of particular IT having JUnit5 tests. [1] https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/blob/master/surefire-integration-tests/src/test/resources/pom.xml
