Ok, so here is the place to download junit. Open any compiled jar – there is package org.hamcrest. Open any source-jar – there is no such package.
It is very strange since sources for hamcrest are available at googlecode.
So, is there any reason for this except making inconveniences to users?
How do you deal with this, or just don’t look in these sources in your IDE?
Yea … they do it to test your ability to use Google :-).
Seriously, Hamcrest is not part of JUnit, so I guess that Kent Beck doesn’t see it as his role to distribute Hamcrest source code. But why are you asking us about this? Why don’t you ask the man himself?
Personally, I use Maven and Eclipse with the m2eclipse plugin. M2eclipse automatically downloads source code on demand; e.g. the first time I navigate to a class.
Before that, I used to Google stuff and download by hand.
Be thankful that you can get all of these open source tools for free … and that the source code is actually available.
