assert vs. JUnit Assertions

Question

Today I saw a JUnit test case with a java assertion instead of the JUnit assertions—Are there significant advantages or disadvantages to prefer one over the other?

Answer 1

I'd say use JUnit asserts in test cases, and use java's assert in the code. In other words, real code shall never have JUnit dependencies, as obvious, and if it's a test, it should use the JUnit variations of it, never the assert.
