As documented in the wiki, JUnit5 and AssertJ are required to be used, but MockMvcResultMatchers drags in Hamcrest, which is an older assertion library.

There should be an alternative/replacement that doesn't drag in a Hamcrest dependency, especially for projects that made efforts to move away from it.
