My big thing with JUnit4 is that it finally allows initializer
methods to be called at instantiation, although I haven't had much
need for this in Tuacany. One thing we should be careful of in
deciding to use JUnit4 is integration with mock object frameworks.
Currently, in core2 and in the Celtix binding, we use JMock and
EasyMock. IMO having a mock object framework far outweighs the
benefits of JUnit4 if the two prove to be incompatible.
I've taken a quick look at TestNG a while back and think it has some
really cool features (e.g. concurrency, test groups, etc.) and do
believe it is a more complete testing framework in that it has
features for integration testing built in. One big benefit for JUnit
is ubiquity, although I think it would be useful to look at TestNG
more closely when we tackle the issue of getting an integration build.
Also, Cedric (one of the TestNG guys) is a really good squash player
so TestNG must be good as well ;-)

I have been looking at TestNG lately. It is lot better than Junit
3.8.1.
However, I think lot of those features are incorporated in Junit
4.0. I
am not sure about the Maven support for TestNG.

I'm wondering if we plan to move to JUnit 4.1? I see more
flexibilities and simplicities offered by JUnit 4.x. Now I can also
use the wizards from Eclipse 3.2 to take advantage of it.
Do we see any issues? I understand Junit 4.x requires JDK 5. I'm not
sure if maven 2.0.4 supports it.
We had a look at junit 4 back in Sep but stayed with 3.8.1 due to the
lack of maven support. Can you find out if that has changed? If it has
it might be worth upgrading.
