paulk-asert commented on issue #1108: GROOVY-9174: try junit-platform-launcher 
as compile-time-only dependency
URL: https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/1108#issuecomment-561462699
 
 
   I think we need to think a little more about this change.
   
   Currently, there is an expectation that downloading the standard Groovy 
distribution provides JUnit5 functionality "out-of-the-box" whereas after the 
change the required jars won't be there. Also, the current expectation is that 
by depending on the "groovy-test-junit5" artifact, all the required 
dependencies would be available on the classpath but could be overridden with a 
different version with appropriate excludes and/or additional dependencies.
   
   It is possibly time to review some of these expectations especially in light 
of modules but it is probably best not do it in a piecewise fashion since we 
already made various changes for 2.5 and 3 which caused confusion for some of 
our users, so we should aim to minimise further disruption.
