Using Hamcrest 2.0 with JUnit

[Daniel Rothmaler]

Hi all, 

I'm just trying to update hamcrest and junit dependencies to the latest version (2.0/4.12) on a project, I'm working on...

But I have some problems, understanding what classes I should use.

Especially what version of "MatcherAssert" (org.hamcrest.junit.MatcherAssert or org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert).

Until now, I used the junit-dep package, und used the org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert directly from hamcrest, to specify my assertions (as I read that they will produce better error messages). 

But now the "new" MatcherAssert and MatcherAssume classes inside the org.hamcrest.junit package came up ported over from junit, is far as I understand). 

Should I switch to them now, or should i stick with the "old" one?

Will they be merged in the future, or are they going to coexist?

It would be nice to have some documentation there... :-)

Best regards, Daniel

The plan is for the MatcherAssert and MatcherAssume classes to be the integration point between JUnit and Hamcrest.  Old classes may be kept around for compatibility for a while, but will be removed in a major version increment some time in the future (not decided when, depends on how widely used they are).
