There's good news on this front. We are in the process of making
TestNG a supported test framework for writing unit and regression
tests in OpenJDK. TestNG inherits a lot of ideas from JUnit, so JUnit
users should find it easy to use, and there are plugins for all the
big IDEs.
The goal you state -- making it easier to reuse test infrastructure --
is one of the reasons why we want to do this. Another is that many
people are already familiar / comfortable with this style of testing,
and therefore are more likely to contribute good tests.
I don't have a schedule for when this will be supported within the
OpenJDK build and test process, but we're working on it.
just pedantically, TestNG was written after JUnit3 but before JUnit4,
i.e before JUnit uses annotations,
so JUnit4 inherits from a lot of ideas of TestNG too.
