Hamcrest Java - Project Age

[Anderson Severo de Matos]

Hello everybody,

I'm finishing my master's degree on CS and have been working on a particular research about

software unbundling (actually API unbundling). We do mine client projects from a dataset that

use one of the study selected APIs, and Hamcrest is included. I wish to ask for a simple

information about Hamcrest project to compose an informative table about these APIs:

how many years the project have today?

I couldn't find this answer on places like hamcrest.org, its Github page or its Wikipedia

article (I also needed the number of contributors but the Github page has this info).

Thank you in advance.

[Robert Chatley]

I would say Joe first published Hamcrest around 2005-6. Here's a 2006 blog post from Nat that mentions it http://natpryce.com/articles/000662.html.

Joe's first commit (on google code) was on 6 March 2006.

@Robert Goodness, that blog post of Nat's takes me back. I'd forgotten about GetInLine (mentioned in the post).

I'd also forgotten about Lyft and its cunning re-purposing of the matchers.

Joe started blogging about his use of the constraints library in JMock about a year before, on 24 May 2005; that's where Hamcrest came from. The blog appears to be defunct but you can see the post via the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://joe.truemesh.com/blog//000511.html

I have a vague memory that there was an antecedent in NMock that didn't quite get it right. I remember having discussions with Charlie Poole about it.

Oh, thank you very much Robert, Romily and Steve for your answers. Well, I think I

can say Hamcrest has about 12 years now. This is more than enough for the record,

because we are studying projects with at least 5 yeas of development (among them

CommonsIO, JUnit, slf4j, Weka,..). When the final paper is ready I may come here

and share it with you.

Once again, thanks for your help!
