Description

This came up as part of

- https://github.com/eclipse-pde/eclipse.pde/pull/2071

and I noticed that we have a dedicated junit4 runtime. Given the JUnitVintage engine can execute JUnit4/3 test I wonder what is the added value of the JUnit4 runtime here?

So if we do not have one, maybe its time to delete?

Research direction

The proposal points to a dedicated JUnit 4 runtime and links eclipse.pde pull request #2071; start by examining that context and locating the runtime in this repository. Determine whether JUnit Vintage makes it redundant, then identify what deletion would affect; done means the project no longer needs the dedicated runtime without breaking test execution. The issue has had no recent discussion, so seek maintainer guidance before starting.
