Older versions of eclipse don't work with newer versions of junit. Dropping
in a new junit bundle breaks jdt.junit bundle that is essential to run any
junit/pde-junit/swtbot tests. The only other way (that I know of) to support
this is to branch out but I'm not sure I have the capacity to manage 3
branches and ensuring that that patch sets are applied to all three
branches.

I'm open to other ideas to solving this problem.
