Hi Jacques Yakoub (@jy95), I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.
Currently, the VS Code Java Test extension supports JUnit 4 and JUnit 5 only; there’s no built-in JUnit 6 support yet.
• To track or request JUnit 6 support, please open a feature request in the Java Test repo: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-test/issues/new
• For an example of how new frameworks are added, see how TestNG support was implemented and released: #248 (#248 (comment))

Hello,
Since JUnit 6 has officially been released, I was wondering whether support for it is planned in the Java Test Runner extension.
Is this something that might be coming in a future update?
Kind regards.
