Re: JUnit 4 Tests

As I understand Junit the basic runner classes in both versions are 
essentially teh same, the only difference being in how a test class gets 
scanned for tests to execute.

Therefor I expect that anything else needed to run the test like loading 
any other code required by the test, or the class under test should be 
the same.  I have only run Junit 4 test inside the IDE. My assumption is 
that running Junit inside a testingrig like AppVeyor should take care of 
that.

Maybe a small test project with multiple modules could make sure that it 
works, or waht needs to be done.
