Clarify on the use of useJUnitPlatform()

The changelog states that even with Gradle 4.6 applying the JUnit Platform plugin is still required despite it being deprecated by the JUnit team. However, my hunch is that this is only the case if no

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

is used. Could you please clarify (in the change log) whether the note even applies with useJUnitPlatform()?

I believe the current master has this fixed. I’ll do another 3.1.0 release candidate as soon as I can so we have other people verify the fix.

~I tried, and found that the tests are not found if you do not include the gradle-plugin, even with useJUnitPlatform().~ It would be nice if this could be corrected, as including both is likely to eventually cause issues as they update JUnit.

UPDATE: I tried removing the plugin again, and this time, the tests were found. I have since updated my JUnit5 from 5.1.0 to 5.1.1, but I doubt that had any affect. I may have simply had some stale code during my initial test?

UPDATE 2: Found the reason for the discrepency: in the second instance, Intellij was using the ‘junit runner’ rather than the gradle runner. Junit doesn’t have trouble discovering the tests, but the standard gradle runner DOES.
