This bug was fixed in the package junit4 - 4.10-1ubuntu1

---------------
junit4 (4.10-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Fix FTBFS with openjdk-7 (LP: #1001351):
    - d/patches/java7-ignore-test.patch: Disable useChildHarvester unit test
      as it makes assumptions about the order of test execution which are not
      guaranteed under Java 7.
