JUnit is undoubtedly one of the most important projects in the #Java ecosystem. And it's 100% free and open!

Let me be frank: If we can't get THIS project to the point where a single maintainer can focus on it, then what does that say about our commitment to Free & Open Source Software?

Support JUnit
JUnit is maintained by a team of passionate volunteers. This is your chance to give back and support the project!

If you use reflection in #Java, be aware that, starting with JDK 26, you may have to add a command-line option or two to keep it working. Alternatively (and recommended), move away from reflective final field mutation.

TIL: #CGLIB has built-in support for saving generated classes to disk, such as those generated for #Spring #AOP proxies. 😱

Just set the `cglib.debugLocation` JVM system property -- for example:

-Dcglib.debugLocation=build/cglib

Can be quite useful for debugging! 🤓
