--[ What is Hamcrest? ]-------------------------------------
Hamcrest is a library of matchers, which can be combined in
to create flexible expressions of intent in tests.
--[ Binaries ]-----------------------------------------------
Depending on how you intend to use Hamcrest, you should use
different Jars.
* [hamcrest-core.jar]
This is the core API to be used by third-party framework
providers. This includes the a foundation set of matcher
implementations for common operations.
This API is stable and will rarely change. You will need
this library as a minimum.
* [hamcrest-library.jar]
The ever-growing library of Matcher implementations. This
will grow between releases.
* [hamcrest-generator.jar]
A tool to allow many Matcher implementations to be
combined into a single class so users don't have to
remember many classes/packages to import. Generates
code.
* [hamcrest-integration.jar]
Provides integration between Hamcrest and other testing
tools, including JUnit (3 and 4), TestNG, jMock and
EasyMock.
Alternatively, if you don't care:
* [hamcrest-all.jar]
Includes all of the above.
For convenience, all the Jars also include source code.
--[ Dependencies ]-------------------------------------------
All libraries in the 'lib' directory are used at build time,
or are optional extras used for tighter integration with
third party libraries.
ALL OF THE DEPENDENCIES ARE OPTIONAL.

Also, thanks to everyone who has worked on DynaMock, nMock,
jMock, EasyMock and MiniMock! These libraries inspired
Hamcrest.
