Using hamcrest 1.1 causes dexing problems

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Dependencies:
instrumentTestCompile "com.squareup.dagger:dagger-compiler:1.1.0"
    instrumentTestCompile "com.squareup.dagger:dagger:1.1.0"
    instrumentTestCompile "com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.1"
    instrumentTestCompile "javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2"
    instrumentTestCompile "com.google.guava:guava:14.0.1"
    instrumentTestCompile fileTree(dir: 'src/instrumentTest/libs', include: '*.jar') <- espresso library
    instrumentTestCompile "org.hamcrest:hamcrest-all:1.1"
2. ./gradlew clean connectedInstrumentTest

Causes:
EXCEPTION FROM SIMULATION:
local variable type mismatch: attempt to set or access a value of type 
java.lang.Object using a local variable of type int. This is symptomatic of 
.class transformation tools that ignore local variable information.

This is coming from hamcrest-generator. Hamcrest-generator is a CLI tool which 
generates static factory classes. As such it really shouldn't be going into 
your runtime dependencies - since it's a build time tool.

Our hamcrest dependencies are:
hamcrest-core
hamcrest-integration
hamcrest-library

Thanks for offering the hamcrest 1.3 patch. However - we need to do some 
janitorial work internally (but actually external to espresso) to upgrade from 
1.1 to 1.3. As such we'll need to wait a bit.

I'm marking this won't fix because it should work if you do not put 
hamcrest-generator in your runtime class path. If you still have issues please 
let me know.

1.1 to 1.3 is a whole different can of worms.
