Rod Woo, the former author of catch-exception library decided to not maintenance his project. This is related to Java 8’s lambda expressions, which highly simplified exception handling.

+++ 2014-05-02: Java 8’s lambda expressions will make catch-exception redundant. Therefore, this project won’t be maintained any longer +++

Because many projects and companies are still using Java 7, we wanted to keep this project up to date, and fix some problems, like compatibility with AssertJ 1.7.0 and Mockito 1.10.0. We only wanted to maintain catch-exception and fix existing problems. Supported version was reborn at new home https://github.com/Codearte/catch-exception! We hope that the project will be as good as the original version.

Remember that for new projects based on Java 8, you can use lambda expression instead of this library. There is a good article about testing exception with Java8: jUnit: Testing exception with java 8 and lambda expressions by Rafał Bobrowiec

Changes

• New project home github.com/Codearte/catch-exception

• FEST Fluent Assertions was replaced by AssertJ. FEST Fluent Assertions is dead project.

• New class BDDCatchException was introduced for BDD style exception handling. Naming convention is consistent with BDDAssertions and BDDMockito.

• Class CatchExceptionAssertJ was declared deprecated, use BDDCatchException instead.

• Class CatchExceptionBdd was deprecated, because FEST Fluent Assertions is dead.

• Added support for AssertJ 1.7.0

• Added support for Mockito versions from 1.8.1 to 1.10.8

• Discussion group and old issues page was replaced by new Github Issues Page

• Maven coordinates was changed from com.googlecode.catch-exception:catch-exception to eu.codearte.catch-exception:catch-exception

• Releasing process was simplified and automated.

Create Skype RPM Specification

In ~/rpmbuild/SPECS create file skype.spec with this content:

# skype.spec for skype-4.3.0.37 (x32)
#
# Build with: rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 skype.spec
#
# Original skype.spec for 4.2.0.11
