Goals

  1. Use JUnit Maven BOM for version alignment

  2. Add minimal dependencies for JUnit5 Java Projekt

Setup

Excerpt from the Maven project’s pom.xml:

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit-bom</artifactId>
      <version>5.7.1</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

JUnit5 does not work with older versions of the Maven Compiler Plugin and the Surefire Plugin used for test execution. Setting their versions in the pom.xml is done like this:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
    </plugin>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.22.2</version>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>
