Can't make JUnit work (assertThat/hasItem)

Question

I've just created a dummy Maven project:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>com.loki2302</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-test-app</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>

    <name>junit-test-app</name>
    <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

    <properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.10</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

I have the only test in this project:

package com.loki2302;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

import org.junit.Test; // for @Test annotation
import static org.junit.Assert.*; // for assertThat()
import static org.junit.matchers.JUnitMatchers.*; // for hasItem()

public class AppTest {  
    @Test
    public void sillyTest() {
        List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(123, 456);
        assertThat(list, hasItem(123));
    }   
}

When I run mvn clean test, it says:

How do I make it work?

Update

Fixed imports for Assert and JUnitMatchers, updated output for mvn clean test

You have:

import org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.junit.matchers.JUnitMatchers.*;

When what you want is:

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.junit.matchers.JUnitMatchers.*;

Really good point, such a silly mistake. But it still doesn't work, please see the updated question. – Andrey Agibalov Jul 11 '12 at 06:40

@loki2302: Hmm. I'm typing on my phone right now, so I can't test easily, but IIRC the default source version used by the maven-compiler-plugin is pretty ancient. Does it work if you [configure the compiler plugin](http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html) to use source version 1.7? – Daniel Pryden Jul 11 '12 at 06:52
@loki2302: Also, I appreciate the checkmark, but if your problem really isn't solved, you probably shouldn't mark any answer as accepted yet -- that will just discourage others from answering the question. – Daniel Pryden Jul 11 '12 at 06:55
I've cleaned up my local Maven cache, restarted machine and then it worked. So, it looks like there was only 1 problem from the code standpoint you mentioned. Thanks! – Andrey Agibalov Jul 11 '12 at 08:03
