If I remember correctly there was always another reason except the Java 1.4 compatibility. I think it had to do with how test classes are instantiated. For this reason we also discussed once testNG (which also had some shortcomings) > There are a few interesting new features besides the annotation goodness. > I am particularly interested in Rules which is essentially behavioral > injection before / after test > http://kentbeck.github.com/junit/doc/ReleaseNotes4.7.html I've seen a presentation once about someone using rules and it looked interesting. As said, I don't think it should be hard to switch to JUnit 4. However, the more specific features we are going to use the harder a potential switch of frameworks become. Maybe Steve can fill us in again which particular problem there was with JUnit. --Hardy _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
