Re: [eclipselink-dev] Upgrade to Junit4.

[Eric Gwin <eric.gwin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Gordon,

As a follow-up to my previous message, I have compared the two jars. 
Obviously I cannot tell if there are interface changes by doing this, 
but the major class differences between the version of JUnit 3 we were 
using and JUnit 4.4 are:

JUnit 4.4 has removed the following:

junit.awtui.*
junit.swingui.*
junit.swingui.icons.*
junit.extensions.ExceptionTestCase
Most of junit.runner
   (The only classes included in 4.4 are:
    junit.runner.BasicTestRunner
    junit.runner.TestRunListener)


Junit 4.4 has added:

junit.framework.JUnit4TestAdapter
junit.framework.JUnit4TestAdapterCache*
junit.framework.JUnit4TestCaseFacade
junit.runner.Version.java.template
org.hamcrest.*
org.hamcrest.core.*
org.hamcrest.internal.*
org.junit.*
org.junit.experimental.*.*
org.junit.internal.*.*
org.junit.runner.*.*
org.junit.runners.*.*
LICENSE.txt

I hope this helps.
