Investigate dependency resolution issue with JUnit

[TimvdLippe]

There appears to be a dependency resolution issue with JUnit. Cucumber 1.2.4 requires JUnit 4.11, whereas the framework requires JUnit 4.12.

There seem to be two possible solutions:

1. Exclude the JUnit dependency on Cucumber in the pom.xml
2. Bump cucumber to version 1.2.5-SNAPSHOT which does depend on JUnit 4.12 (originally junit 4.12 broke compatibility with android) See Investigate dependency resolution issue with JUnit #82 (comment)

I'd say updating the dependency (to 1.2.5-SNAPSHOT) is the best thing to do, and then bump to 1.2.5 as soon as it is available.

Dependency divergence in the minor part of the version number, for test scoped dependencies, doesn't seem any problem to me? Otherwise we would be writing [version] everywhere in our pom.xml versions, right?

Option 2 appears to be impossible, as 1.2.5-SNAPSHOT is not published on the mvn repository and therefore mvn install will fail with the message

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project jpacman-framework: Could not resolve dependencies for project nl.tudelft.jpacman:jpacman-framework:jar:6.4.0: The following artifacts could not be resolved: info.cukes:cucumber-java:jar:1.2.5-SNAPSHOT, info.cukes:cucumber-junit:jar:1.2.5-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact info.cukes:cucumber-java:jar:1.2.5-SNAPSHOT -> [Help 1]

Cucumber 1.2.5 has been released and uses JUnit 4.12

[TimvdLippe]

We probably need to see if there again problems with the adoption of JUnit 5 per #99

Thanks! We're using Cucumber 1.2.5 now, and it works. It does still rely on good old JUnit 4 and its RunWith extensions at the moment, but that works.
