The JUnit team (by freezing an older version of hamcrest into their JAR) are killing it.

OR has anyone managed to get a way to overcome this?

I feel driven to fest-asserts.

Hi Paul,

I import the newest hamcrest library besides junit, so that I can use
the newest version and all it's features.

Thanks for the reference to fest-asserts, having fluent reflections
and the advantages listed at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/FEST/Comparing+to+Hamcrest
sounds good. But it seems to me that easy extensions with your own
matchers is not possible in fest-asserts. Right?

It's very easy. Use the junit-dep jar (which actually means junit /without/ dependencies). That doesn't include hamcrest and there's no clash.

Thanks Steve, but there is a issue with the 4.9 release; the 4.8 release was fine. See pic: http://screencast.com/t/NLZ1r9rTAX9

Dave Saff ack'd this yesterday on Twitter :)

OK. Probably time to ask them to pull it out now. You can just use our MatcherAssert.assertThat anyway.
