how to find where my Junit4 dependency was brought in at a Maven project?

I’ve migrated my Maven project from Junit4 to Junit5, and removed this line:

<junitVersion>4.9</junitVersion>

from my pom.xml file.

But somehow, I’m still able to use this

import org.junit.Test;

in my code, I’d like to know which one of my libs brought Junit4 in as transitive dependency.

I used mvn dependency:tree, here’s what I have and I don’t see Junit4 anywhere:

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
