The <b>New JUnit Test Suite Wizard</b> has been enhanced to now allow the creation of a JUnit 5 test suite using the <b>@Suite</b> annotation.
To open the <b>New JUnit Test Suite Wizard</b> for the current package, go to <b>New &gt; Other &gt; Java &gt; JUnit &gt; JUnit Test Suite</b>.

<td class="content">
The clean-up to convert to enhanced 'for' loops where possible has been enhanced to convert eligible while statements that use an iterator into enhanced for loops.
The current clean-up already supports converting 'for' loops using an iterator into an enhanced 'for' loop.
<p>
To apply the cleanup, select the Java 5 <b>Convert to enhanced 'for' loops</b> checkbox on the <b>Java Feature</b> tab in your cleanup profile.
</p>
<p>
With the cleanup, the following:
</p>
<p><img src="images/while-to-for-before.png" alt="Before"/></p>
<p>
Is changed to:

<p><img src="images/while-to-for-after.png" alt="After"/></p>

<td class="content">
The clean-up to convert to a switch expression where possible has been enhanced to recognize switch statements that have every case either end in a return statement or a throw of an exception.
In such a case the switch statement is converted into a return of a switch expression.
<p>
To apply the cleanup, select the Java 14 <b>Convert to switch expression where possible</b> checkbox on the <b>Java Feature</b> tab in your cleanup profile.
