Add Automatic-Module-Name to hamcrest.core

[Noopur Gupta]

Hello Hamcrest developers,

With reference to the GitHub issue 187, I would like to request for a new version of hamcrest.core with an Automatic-Module-Name set in its Manifest. This will enable it to be used on the modulepath of a Java 9 project to run JUnit 4 tests in Eclipse. This is currently not possible as hamcrest.core is not a modular JAR.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Noopur,

I realise it's been 10 months since your email, but I have just released a new version of Hamcrest that includes the fix for issue #187: hamcrest-2.1-rc1.jar. It's now available from Maven Central. Note that the packaging has changed: hamcrest-core.jar and hamcrest-library.jar have been combined into a single hamcrest.jar. Feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe
