Description Tobias Oberlies CLA 2011-10-13 07:30:42 EDT 
Currently, it is not possible to add JUnit4 tests to org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests. While it is possible to include a junit4 test in an junit3 suite (using the JUnit4TestAdapter [1]), these test will not execute because the javacTarget=jsr14 setting strips the @Test annotations.

Junit4 brings a ton of new, useful features (e.g. Rules) which should be available to efficiently write tests.

As far as I am aware, it is sufficient to change the output class format for org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests from jsr14 to 1.5. While Equinox may need to run on 1.4, I don't see why the tests have to. From what I could find here [2], the p2 tests are only executed on 1.5 and 1.6 VMs anyway.

Changed with 4f57e452. Let's see what the nightly build brings...

Changing the class format of o.e.e.p2.tests seems to have worked in the central build: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/I20111027-1300/testresults/html/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests_linux.gtk.x86_6.0.html

I should now be possible to write junit4 tests in that bundle (see description).
