Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-218:
----------------------------------
I'm OK with it.
Maybe I'm a luddite or just not getting it, but I have never really understood
how to use JUnit 4.x correctly. Every attempt has looked like a lot of work for
a more complex, and functionally identical result. You're not proposing
changing to the new APIs, so no issue there (though I recall it wasn't entirely
backwards compatible somehow...) Just that somehow JUnit 4.x seemed like they
took something simple and working and made it complex and overengineered --
when honestly this ought to be a dead simple framework.
Anyway, still, no substantive objection to using the new library.

> Junit 4.5 is back-compatible with the current 3.x, and allows using the new
> @annotation scheme. Since the compiler level is set to 1.6, this seems
> harmless, and I for one would rather write tests in the new pattern.
