Can Gatling execute JUnit tests?

Hi,

In the past, my team has used the JUnit sampler in JMeter to execute Integration Tests written in JUnit to be leveraged as Load Tests to reduce duplication of writing load test scenarios and integration test scenarios.

I was wonder if Gatling could potentially do something similar. Assuming that Scala is still running in a JVM, I assume I can import perhaps a some test fixture written in Java that Gatling can execute, but I’m not sure how one would go about do such a thing or if it’s even possible. Any experience you can share on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
