[jira] [Commented] (SLING-12131) Update sling-parent pom.xml to include JUnit5 dependencies

["Julian Sedding (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-12131?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17784016#comment-17784016 ] 

Julian Sedding commented on SLING-12131:
----------------------------------------

AFAIK the latest maven-surefire-plugin automatically adds the jupiter and vintage engines if the jupiter-api and the junit api, respectively, are in the dependencies.

I would also like to transition more to junit5/jupiter, and since you can even mix and match individual test methods within the same class, I see no reason why we shouldn't move forward with it.

I would add the following two dependencies to sling-parent:
- org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api
- org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-params

> JUnit4 is in maintenance mode (no updates in the last 2 years and then only security fixes).  I think updating projects to JUnit5 should be encouraged.
> I am thinking this should be a relatively easy change of adding the junit-jupiter and junit-vintage-engine into the Dependency Management section of the sling-parent.
> Once this is done, individual projects could switch to the vintage-engine (at the very least) or move to jupiter by switching the dependency in their project pom.
> Some day down the road, the JUnit 4 dependencies could be removed.  Projects that have not updated to JUnit5 (vintage or jupiter) by that time are likely no longer maintained.
