OK to use reflection in scala repo JUnit test?

[Performant Data LLC]

Is it kosher to use Scala reflection in scala/test/junit/... ? (the library's available at that point?) If not, then Java reflection?

I want to write a regression test for a bug, and the easiest way is probably to check the value of a private[this] var.

You can do all kinds of stuff in JUnit tests, including running a compiler and inspecting the bytecode

No worries about using scala / java reflection :)
