static <M> Matcher<M>	none()	Import static NONE implementation of a Matcher which always returns false.
static <M> Matcher<M>	not(Matcher<M> aMatcher)	Import static NOT Matcher whose Matcher.isMatching(Object) method inverts (NOT) the Matcher.isMatching(Object) result of the encapsulated Matcher.
static <M> Matcher<M>	notEqualWith(M aMatchee)	Import static NOT EQUAL WITH Matcher, comparing its matchee with the matchee provided to the Matcher.isMatching(Object) method for equality.
static <M> Matcher<M>	or(Matcher<M>... aMatchers)	Import static OR Matcher, i.e. any of the provided Matcher instances need to match in order for the OR Matcher to match.

Method Detail

isAssignableFrom

public static <M> Matcher<M> isAssignableFrom(java.lang.Class<?> aMatcheeType)

Static import IS ASSIGNABLE FROM Matcher using the type of the matchees being the criteria to determine a match.

Type Parameters:

M - The type of the matchee to be matched

Parameters:

aMatcheeType - The type of the matchee to match.

Returns:

A Matcher by type.

or

@SafeVarargs
public static <M> Matcher<M> or(Matcher<M>... aMatchers)

Import static OR Matcher, i.e. any of the provided Matcher instances need to match in order for the OR Matcher to match.

Type Parameters:

M - The type of the matchee to be matched

Parameters:

aMatchers - The Matcher instances to be combined with a logical OR.

Returns:

An OR Matcher.

and

@SafeVarargs
public static <M> Matcher<M> and(Matcher<M>... aMatchers)

Type Parameters:

M - The type of the matchee to be matched

Parameters:

aMatchers - The Matcher instances to be combined with a logical AND.

Returns:

An AND Matcher.

not

public static <M> Matcher<M> not(Matcher<M> aMatcher)
