junit version in microprofile/tests/arquillian/pom.xml is not managed by Helidon

Reported by David Delabassee:

Btw, I wanted to test Helidon with a snapshot build of Jackson (they just merged Records support).
I updated the Jackson deps but the build fail

[ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] 'dependencies.dependency.version' for junit:junit:jar is missing. @ io.helidon.microprofile.tests:helidon-arquillian:[unknown-version], /Users/delabassee/Desktop/helidon/microprofile/tests/arquillian/pom.xml, line 64, column 21

It looks like we don't manage the version of junit 4 and we get the version transitively from Jackson. When I generate the effective pom for the pom referenced in the error above I see that the dependencyManagement from Jackson manages the junit 4 version. I assume in David's case the new Jackson version no longer manages the junit 4 version.

Isn't it coming from arquillian-container-spi?

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin:3.2.0:effective-pom -Dverbose shows:

  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>   
. . .
      <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>  <!-- com.fasterxml.jackson:jackson-parent:2.11, line 76 -->
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>  <!-- com.fasterxml.jackson:jackson-parent:2.11, line 77 -->
        <version>4.12</version>  <!-- com.fasterxml.jackson:jackson-parent:2.11, line 78 -->
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>

This indicates the junit version is coming from Jackson.
