JUnit4Migration
With JUnit 5 alpha being already available (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/junit/) it seems like it will drop support for JUnit 3 APIs. Once JUnit 5 comes to JDT it would be nice not to have 3 different style of junit tests around. This work will have to eventually be done to keep up with the newer JUnit releases.
Also https://junit-team.github.io/junit5/#running-tests does not even mention the possibility of running JUnit 3 tests.
The APIs are cleaner in most cases and most developers are more used to 4 API rather than 3, and that is always good for the project in terms of potential contributors.
To summarize the goal is: make sure for all (as much as we can) projects to be prepared when JUnit 5 comes and it kills support for JUnit 3 tests.
