Description

While trunk still remains on JUnit 3.8.1, 2.x uses JUnit 4.11 and has already upgraded tests (NUTCH-1573). This makes it difficult to port tests which use JUnit 4 features from 2.x to trunk. There are two solutions:

1. (lightweight, trivial patch attached) upgrade only ivy dependency, upgrade tests later
2. upgrade also all tests to use JUnit 4 annotations and setup(), cf. NUTCH-1573
