hamcrest-library 1.3 not compatible with json-path-0.9.1

Background

While I was working on my SpringMVC project, I was trying to test jsonPath and encounter is problem. Here is the Stacktrace which I run the JunitTest:

Solution

The reason for this is the incompatibility between json-path 1.1 and hamcrest-library 1.3. To fix this, simple change the version of json-path from 1.1.0 to 0.9.1
