Description

When having a reference to JUnit-3.8.1, it fails with a "reference not found".
This is caused by the following code:

junit.runner.TestCollector

package junit.runner;

import java.util.*;


/**
 * Collects Test class names to be presented
 * by the TestSelector. 
 * @see TestSelector
 */
public interface TestCollector {
	/**
	 * Returns an enumeration of Strings with qualified class names
	 */
	public Enumeration collectTests();
}

The class TestSelector doesn't exist, so it is actually a valid error/warning. However, this is not our code, so we can't change it.

JDK7 warns but JDK8 fails with an error.
