My concerns with JUnit are its platform coverage, and I just haven't looked into this. Will it run on JDK 1.3, J2ME/CDC/Foundation, OSGi ee.minimum, Z/OS etc. Would that community be willing to support those platforms?
A problem with JUnit on many J2ME platforms is that it uses reflection. J2MEUnit is a related framework, but requires extra work to name and execute individual test methods.
A possible approach is to insert a DerbyTestCase class into the hierarchy. For J2SE builds it would just extends junit.framework.TestCase. For J2ME it would extend the J2MEUnit equivalent. To run the tests on J2ME some reflection/APT type approach would need to generate the simple code to enumerate test methods and the switch statement to execute them.
Sometime ago I had a personal project among other things generated the required code using BCEL, but I got bored...
