Hi,

Yes it is old, but it is the best JUnit :)
The 4 series jumped the shark for meĀ·

Old != bad.

I am not trying to start a flame war here, but assumed that it was
3.8.1 deliberately,
as this is the best JUnit can get.

Not everyone uses annotations, the surefire plugin requires the JUnit
3.8.1 naming conventions,
the Jenkins plugins assume the same conventions. We have been bitten
by People using JUnit4 and TestNG
and hence skipping tests in Jenkins.

I would do not think it would be an improvement to change this.

cheers
Tim
