@dsaff  org.junit.tests.AllTests is a JUnit4-style test. The issue is that testing the core JUnit4 code in JUnit4 is risky. Even when you include a JUnit3-style test in a JUnit4-style suite, JUnit still uses the JUnit4 notification system, so bugs there won't get reported.

I could add a new JUnit3-style suite under src/test/org/junit but that would require changes to the ant and maven build files. What would you like me to do?
