In JUnit 3, the method BaseTestRunner.getTest(String) would return a class which implements Test if the class identified by the given name provided a static method named suite(). In JUnit 4, there is an additional requirement that the class extends TestCase. The attached TestCase passes using junit 3.8.1, but fails with junit 4.4.
This is at least one of the reasons why Cactus cannot be use.
