Persism VS AssertJ

People would be much better off using Persism https://github.com/sproket/Persism

Yes, you do also have to add the mysql-connector-java-(version).jar to the classpath. If you run it in eclipse, it should show the command line it uses somewhere. BTW if you're looking for a simple streamlined ORM have a look at persism

If you use Java you might like Persism https://github.com/sproket/Persism if you need to do anything databases.

If you want to try a easy to use ORM have a look at Persism

It's not that good. It doesn't have persism on it yet https://github.com/sproket/Persism

Is there a reason it needs a dependency on Lombok? If you want a library to be used, the less dependencies the better. See mine. It has zero.

Maybe not the feedback you want, but would you consider developing something that looks like plain old (and frankly beautiful) AssertJ?

AssertJ - fluent assertions

Truth or AssertJ for easier assertions in tests with better exceptions

While we are at it: AssertJ is very powerful for writing assertions.

In OO you can make beautiful DSLs that allow really declarative use within that domain, e.g. test assertions in AssertJ, but everybody in the OO world is sensible enough to not try and claim OO as such being declarative. I guess they don't feel a need to try to prove the superiority of the paradigm.

AssertJ comes with a variety of assertions that can be chained together and are specific to the type of your "actual" variable.

At any rate it comes from a library called assertj.

While Hamcrest add some fluentidity to unit tests ä, I prefer the fluent assertions of AssertJ.
