Downloading "JUnit 5" from the #JUnit website.without using Maven or Gradle, shouldn't be this hard.

Attach (upload) binaries of each JUnit release to GH download page.

For example, for the JUnit 5.10.1 release that would be the "Assets" section of https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/releases/tag/r5.10.1 page.

An alternative would be to promote the "standalone" variant: https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#running-tests-console-launcher

Isn't this is duplicate of a discussion/issue we've had before?

In any case, when people ask me how to acquire the JUnit 5 artifacts, my common response is that you have the following options:

• use Spring Boot or some other application framework that sets up the dependency management for you in the build
• use Gradle
• use Maven
• use Ant + Ivy
• download the standalone JAR
