Description

When creating a project from the maven-archetype-quickstart the created project uses JUnit 3.8.1.

maven-archetype-quickstart should create projects using a newer version of JUnit, perferrably the current stable release.

In any case: JUnit 3.8.1 was released on 4 September 2002, which at the time of writing (29 September 2012) is a little over 10 years old. In software terms this is very old software.
