------------------------------------------
Thanks [~wakingrufus]! I'll let you know once I have the changes for {{ant}}
part and the build works. So we can split the changes on tests.

I'm looking to the changes related to JUnit5 migration and looks like there are
a few large enough ({{jstack}} task wrapper and formatters). I have a question
on the formatters. Is it critical for us to save the existing output as is?
Basically I'd like to understand whether there is smth based on the format
(e.g. a component that parses the output). Definitely I will try to keep format
the same (I have not yet tried to update them), but I want to ensure it is
worth the effort.

> Key: CASSANDRA-16630
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16630
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Test/unit
> Reporter: Alexey Zotov
> Priority: Normal
>
> h3. Overview
> Currently C* uses JUnit4 (version 4.12) which is obsolete. There is a newer
> version 4.13.2 which we could update to. However, JUnit4 is generally
> considered to be outdated and it is reasonable to migrate to JUnit5.
> Despite of having a syntax sugar in JUnit5 (assertThrow, lamda's support,
> ect), there are no blockers that push us to move from JUnit4. The main
> motivation for this initiative is rule of thumb to use up-to-date versions of
> the dependencies.
> Obviously this change is not backward compatible with the open PRs and
> previous C* versions. Therefore, it will require an additional effort for
> backporting the changes and updating PRs that have tests. However, I believe
> it should not be a blocker for this initiative.
> h3. Scope (preliminary list)
> # change JUnit4 to JUnit5 dependencies and make necessary changes in ant
> tasks (https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/junitlauncher.html)
> # update syntax in all tests (imports, Before/After annotations, etc)
> # update parameterized tests
> # create a new version of {{OrderedJUnit4ClassRunner}} and update
> corresponding tests
> # update tests that use {{BMUnitRunner}} (as per
> https://developer.jboss.org/docs/DOC-52953 it supports JUnit5)
> # update tests with {{@Rule}}
> # update tests with expected exceptions
> h3. Order of operations
> In order to make the transition more smooth we want to use a phased approach:
> # migrate to JUnit5 with [Vintage
> Engine|https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#dependency-metadata-junit-vintage],
> so all JUnit4 tests work as is
> # update tests in a few bunches (to not have a huge single PR with numerous
> conflicts)
> # disable (remove dependency) Vintage Engine, so only JUnit5 tests work
