I have got JMock working Android however I had to repackage the hamcrest libraries.

The error you get in Android ADK is:- Error generating final archive: duplicate entry: LICENSE.txt

Work around: unzip hamcrest-core-1.1.jar unzip hamcrest-library-1.1.jar in the same directory.

This the second unzip overwrites MANIFEST.MF and LICENCE.TXT.

zip ../hamcrest-all-1.1.jar

Hey, I got a similar problem, but not with JMock though.

I tried to use hamcrest-core and hamcrest-library on Android, but the Android project failed to build, same error message as the above.

The solution is to either remove the LICENCE.txt files, or put them inside each of the META-INF folder in the jar.

Keep up the good work guys, hamcrest is cool!

Could the next maven release of Hamcrest include this alteration to the location of the LICENCE.txt file? I'm getting the clash problem with both version 1.2.1 & 1.3RC2 - this is trying to use 'hamcrest-library', which of course includes hamcrest-core as a dependency - all I want are some nice marchers beyond the core ones!

Super-awesomely, it looks like the next version of the maven-android-plugin (v2.9.0, as yet unreleased) will have duplicate-detection-and-removal, allowing builds to proceed even with the collisions in hamcrest-core & hamcrest-library:

I've just moved the LICENSE.txt file into the META-INF directory of the hamcrest jars. See commit https://github.com/hamcrest/JavaHamcrest/commit/9e2a15913122e216752280c0f89f8215aaa23b43

This will not take effect until the next release.
