JUnit is the most prominent project to require Java 5 ATM, but hardly the only one. We've had other projects breaking for months now because we didn't provide a Java 5 environment. > I'm personally not happy with how effectively there's this one > project run by a bunch of people who don't particulary understand > enough about backwards compatibility I don't think you are fair here. JUnit 4 uses a completely different approach that has been enabled by annotations. I'm a happy NUnit user (.NET unit testing framework) and can tell you that using annotations really is a step forward over the JUnit 3.x approach. And when it comes to backwards compatibility, it is very likely that all our JUnit 3.8 tests in Gump will work with JUnit 4 as well. It's simply that JUnit wants to use annotations and the only way forward was to require Java 5 at compile time.
