[jira] Commented: (MRESOURCES-152) The dependency of JUnit 3.8.1 may override the depended JUnit version of the project

["Haixing Hu (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-152?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=275372#comment-275372 ] 

Haixing Hu commented on MRESOURCES-152:
---------------------------------------

By the way, I set the priority to "blocker" because many of my project depends on JUnit 4 in theire unit tests. And also many of them depends on maven-resources-plugin. I have to implements all assertArrayEquals(...) functions by myself to make them compiled :-(

>             Project: Maven 2.x Resources Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.5
>            Reporter: Haixing Hu
>            Priority: Blocker

> As the following pages state:
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/dependencies.html
> The maven resources plugin itself depends on the JUnit 3.8.1, and any project using this plugin will be introduced a transitive dependency of JUnit 3.8.1. This will cause the projects which use JUnit 4.x in their unit test fail to pass the compilation under the command line (i.e., via "mvn install"), but they could be compiled under eclipse.
> I can't understand why this plugin has to introduce the dependency of Junit. Is it really necessary? If it is, could you please upgrade the JUnit to version 4 or above? Since JUnit 4.x provides a lot of assertArrayEquals(...) functions, which are really widely used.
> Thank you in advance.
