Description Carl Marcum 2021-05-30 20:16:37 UTC 
Issue to track work on updating JUnit from 4.12 to latest JUnit4 4.13.2.
Previous updating from 4.10 to 4.12 was under issue 128452 [1].

This update will require changes to NamedRequest.java [2] due to a change in JUnit 4.13 ParentRunner.java [3] where a second constructor was added which now throws an error when instantiating the inner class Suite with a null arg.

[javac] <path-to>/openoffice/test/testcommon/source/org/openoffice/test/common/NamedRequest.java:161: error: reference to ParentRunner is ambiguous, both constructor ParentRunner(Class<?>) in ParentRunner and constructor ParentRunner(TestClass) in ParentRunner match
    [javac] 			super(null);
    [javac] 			^
    [javac] Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
    [javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
    [javac] 1 error
    [javac] 1 warning
