   Hi Jean Honlet (@jehon), 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.

   • Add explicit JUnit Platform modules so the Testable annotation is on the classpath:

     <dependency>
       <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
       <artifactId>junit-platform-commons</artifactId>
       <version>1.10.0</version>
       <scope>test</scope>
     </dependency>
     <dependency>
       <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
       <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
       <version>6.0.1</version>
       <scope>test</scope>
     </dependency>

   • Downgrade to JUnit 5 (for example, 5.10.2) until the Java Test Runner extension adds JUnit 6 support.
   • File a feature request in the Java Test Runner repo to support JUnit 6.

   Other references with high confidence:

   • JUnit 5 from Eclipse Project not working: invalid classpath container prevents running tests (#1467)

   Other references with low confidence

   • Start VSCode after upgrading from junit4 to junit5 – similar BuildPathSupport error when plugin detects JUnit 5 on the classpath (#703)

   The team will respond to your issue shortly. I hope these suggestions are helpful in the meantime. If this comment helped you, please give it a 👍. If the suggestion was not helpful or incorrect, please give it a 👎. Your feedback helps us improve!

   Hello dear AI assistant,

   Downgrading to 5 does work indeed.

   But I would like to support 6.

   Jean Honlet (@jehon) can you share about your project, actually we support junit 6 on the latest vscode-java-test prerelease version [0.43.2025120408]
   can you help verify such issue can work with the latest prerelease java-test extension?
