 Description   

For better or worse, in the past gradle revealed the junit jar file onto the classpath for compileTestJava. The classloader isolation now makes sure that doesn't happen.

Now in order to compile Junit tests, some instance of junit jar file needs to be found in a separate repository. It would be very nice to have some way of saying useJUnit(['embeddedGradleLibs' : 'true']) or something to that effect saying that you'd like to compile tests against the version of JUnit that ships with gradle and will be used at runtime.

Obviously there are cases where you want to have some fixed version of JUnit/TestNG, but it used to be so convenient to have small standalone projects that didn't need to define any repositories to be able to run the test cases.
