[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQ-2202) Include org.hamcrest out of box

[Ladislav Thon (Jira)]

Ladislav Thon commented on ARQ-2202:
------------------------------------

My understanding is that JUnit 4 _requires_ Hamcrest to be present, otherwise loading some JUnit classes fails. TestNG doesn't have such dependency on Hamcrest, which is why Arquillian's {{TestNGDeploymentAppender}} doesn't (and IMHO shouldn't) automatically include it.

> At the moment, if I want to use org.hamcrest, I have to package the classes on my own. I think it will be great if the class TestNGDeploymentAppender adds org.hamcrest classes automatically. It will be great. By the way, I think in junit, org.hamcrest classes are accessible out of box. I think TestNG should match that.
