Agreed.

Can I propose breaking out the jmock/hamcrest interdependencies (some tests and examples) into another project?
As it makes bootstrapping a clean build impossible without copies of old jars.

JavaHamcrest 7.0

Steve Freeman <st...@m3p.co.uk>: Dec 22 09:07PM +0100 Chatting briefly with Nat recently, it became clear that one blocker to change is the complexity of the current build. So I have a proposal, which I'll call Hamcrest 7.0. When we port to Java 8, it will become Hamcrest 8.0.   1) collapse everything to one jar. I can't think of a use case where all the different sub jars are useful.   2) Freeze the Matchers and CoreMatchers classes. As the number of matchers grows, the Matchers class is getting too large to be useful, and the code-gen step is a pain. I propose that we break up the collection matchers in ListMatchers, SetMatchers, etc, like the Google collections API does, which I believe will fix some of the template pain. Similarly for other types of matchers. It's not that much of a burden to write new helper factory methods by hand and modern IDEs will do the hard work of importing. Check in the current version of Matchers for backwards compatibility but deprecate it.   3) This allows us to port to Gradle as a build tool, which has some publishing features built in.   When all of this is stable, the clean up starts with Hamcrest 7.1   For Java 8 matching, as some have mentioned, we start an additional library where extra features become candidates for including in the next major release.   I've started a branch in GitHub.   Thoughts?   S
