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>
Tip

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>
