Generics type on the base classes ?

[Ed]

Hellu,

Why not use put a Generic parameter on the base classes like
PrimitiveAssert (a bit like the Enum generics).
Why? I think you can move up quick a bit of code that is now contained
in the subclass to support the Fluent API.
Example:
public abstract class PrimitiveAssert<T extends PrimitiveAssert<T>>
extends Assert {

So the as method can now move up and become part of the
PrimitiveAssert:
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public T as(String description) {
description(description);
return (T) this;
}

Even do, it contains a supress warning, it absolutely safe. Just try
it...
I tested it and it works fine.

If you choise to implement this, you could move up quite a lot of
code, which of course has a lot of benefits... :)

Hi Ed,

There is already a task that involves removing PrimitiveAssert and consolidate everything under one base class. It is part of the fix for FEST-133 ( http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/FEST-133 ) :)

Cheers,
