⚡️ What's your motivation?

With JUnit 4 in maintenance mode and JUnit vintage being deprecated support for JUnit 4 is winding down. As such users should be encouraged to migrate away from JUnit 4 and cucumber-junit onto JUnit 5 with the cucumber-junit-platform-engine.

Closes: #3015

🏷️ What kind of change is this?

  • 🏦 Refactoring/debt/DX (improvement to code design, tooling, etc. without changing behaviour)

♻️ Anything particular you want feedback on?

To the best of my knowledge, cucumber-junit and cucumber-junit-platform-engine have feature parity. If there is something is missing, please create an issue.
