@arshinsikka Thanks for the PR.
@YosieSYX (and others) for your inputs.
I think this is a good time to look at all three JUnit tutorials (the general one, VSCode one, and IDEA one) and consolidate so that there is no duplication (repeating the same content using <include .../> directive is still fine though -- just don't copy paste the same content).
The general JUnit tutorial should continue to exist, as there are students not using IDEs.
