It's generally agreed that using the expected attribute of the @Test annotation can be problematic. At the very least, it's very limiting. We should update the @Test Javadoc to mention ExpectedException as the preferred alternative.

See #801 for details

The ExpectedException can be used for better exception testing. The
reference should guide the reader to its documentation.

Add a link to assertThrows in exception testing

Provide information about alternatives to the expected parameter which
can be used to overcome the limitations of expected.

This is an improvement for JUnit 4.13 to the fix for junit-team#806
