JUnit 5

JUnit 5.3.1 has been added as a new Library to NetBeans, so you can quickly add it to your Java projects. For Maven projects without no existing tests, JUnit 5 is now the default JUnit version.

Apache NetBeans

The JUnit 5 @Testable annotation is also supported. Any method that includes an annotation that inherits from this, will be allowed to be executed with these action menu items.

Default JUnit 5 Test Template provided out of the box. Note JUnit 5 doesn’t currently support test suite’s for its Jupiter engine, so the template provided will attempt to create a test suite using the Vintage engine.
