Re: [riena-dev] Riena + Junit4 ?

[Christian Campo <christian.campo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While I think in general its a good idea, I am concerned about breakage:

- tests that we have that run under 3.8 if they all run with junit 4
- tests that others have built on top of RienaTestCase, will they continue to run
- and a thing that Elias brings up is equally im important. we need to make sure that the test continue to run

I also suggest that we start with factoring out the test support stuff that I believe is currently in riena.core to a new bundle riena.testutils or something 
where we keep the RienaTestCase and the Annotations that support it.

What will happen to the Annotation that we currently use ? Will they be supported in Junit4 or will they be replaced by new mechanism ?

Does it make sense to create riena.testutil3 and riena.testutil4 bundles for the different junit test libs ?

And I believe e we need an CQ  which I can do.
