JUnit for Java 1.4

Question

What version of JUnit works for Java 1.4? Looking at JUnit 3 and 4 docs, I can't figure it out.

Thanks!

Answer 1

JUnit 4 is backward compatible with JUnit 3. You will have to limit yourself to the JUnit 3 API, obviously, since annotations cannot be set for jdk1.4. The big problem is that the JUnit 4 classes will be compiled using jdk1.5, which the java 1.4 compiler will probably not like. Since you cannot use the newer functionality anyway, you should probably stick with JUnit 3.
