What's the progress on this? I'd like to use Mockito with my unit tests and I'm running JUnit 4.11 that is bundled with Eclipse 4.4 that I'm using.
 Is Hamcrest dependency a blocker for using Mockito with Eclipse 4.4 ?

 @bric3 It seems that way. Eclipse 4.4 comes with JUnit 4.11 and Hamcrest 1.3, which apparently doesn't work with Mockito? Therefore when I try to run my JUnit plug-in tests for an Eclipse 4.4 RCP application it doesn't work.
 I use Mockito 1.9.5 and 1.10.16 with JUnit 4.11 and 4.12 combined with Hamcrest 1.3 in several applications and didn't have any issues.
 Fells more of an Eclipse issue, if an IDE cannot work with the project
classpath...

The team / the code is clearly not near any Mockito 2.0 _final_ release.
Anyway, this task is not even started, and it will target Mockito 2.0 as
API will change.
 @bric3 @martin-g My bad, I made a plugin for Mockito and forgot to add the dependencies to Hamcrest and Objenesis. Seems to work fine now as far as I can tell..
 Would be nice to at least upgrade to hamcrest 1.3 (latest version I think).
 @philipwhiuk Maybe in version 2.0. Maybe we could eventually drop the dependency (at this time nothing yet decided)
 Working on this. We will use hamcrest 1.3, too.
 This is completed on master.

stop depending on hamcrest internally
In order to avoid compatibility/upgrade problems we will stop depending on hamcrest internally. Hamcrest will be an optional dependency of Mockito.
