  • hamcrest-core.jar: This file contains the core functionality and a set of common matchers

Most likely, you will use either hamcrest-core or hamcrest-all, depending on your needs.

If you are using JUnit 4 (from at least 4.9), you have the core version of Hamcrest already bound to JUnit. If you are using a...
