Tibor Digana updated SUREFIRE-1206:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: Backlog
> Add SurefireProvider for JUnit 5
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-1206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1206
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Marc Philipp
> Fix For: Backlog
>
>
> As you probably know, the JUnit team is currently working on a new major
> version, codenamed JUnit Lambda. We are still in a very early prototype/alpha
> phase but nevertheless wanted to reach out to you regarding future support
> for JUnit 5 in Maven Surefire.
> h4. The prototype
> We have even gone so far as to create our own SurefireProvider for the
> prototype we've release a couple of weeks ago:
> https://github.com/junit-team/junit-lambda/tree/prototype-1/surefire-junit5.
> It's obviously very basic and only supports the most common use case of
> running all test classes in a module. This was merely meant as a proof of
> concept. Moreover, we do not plan to release and maintain our own
> SurefireProvider in the long run. That's why I'm opening this issue so we
> start to talk about it and then, hopefully, start collaborating on it.
> h4. Things the JUnit team has decided
> - JUnit 5 will require a JDK 8 runtime
> - JUnit 5 will be able to run JUnit 4 and JUnit 3 tests if the right JARs
> happen to be on the classpath.
> h4. Possible next steps
> We would love if you could take a look at our current build tool/IDE facing
> API if you have the time. Please feel free to ask any question that might
> come up.
> We are currently working on the first alpha. Our goal is to have a stable
> build tool/IDE facing API by then but as sooner as you provide feedback the
> better.
