Upgrade to spring-core-test 6.2.4 forces upgrade to JUnit 5.12 #34610
Description
I manage several GitHub repositories, a multitude of which use Spring. One of these projects is our Spring AoT extension, for Axon Framework.
To ensure we're on track with the latest releases, we use dependabot to automatically update our dependencies.
As off release 6.2.4, upgraded in this PR, the mvn test goal fails with the following exception:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.5.2:test (default-test) on project axon-spring-aot:

Although I wager this behavior is impacted by the maven-surefire-plugin we use, the predicament is resolved when downgrade the Spring dependencies to 6.2.3.
As such, I figured it would be worth to share this here.
If anybody wants to try out this failure, please use the referred to dependabot PR.
