Will there be any response to this pull request? Is there any possibility for this fix to be included in hamcrest:master ? I do not understand why Boolean getters with is prefix are being ignored?

@bureaquete This is probably not being included because your PR has failed the Continuous Integration

@mikulucky why though? Everything checks out in my local, no test failure or anything. Cannot find out the reason of CI failure.

@bureaquete the test failures seem to be with your changes on OpenJDK7 https://travis-ci.org/hamcrest/JavaHamcrest/builds/111651291

@mikulucky I haven't changed anything but the file in my commits. If you check last couple pull requests, all have the same failure, but from console I cannot figure out the exact reason.

It looks like the build is hitting a problem in Travis combined with a problem in the JDK. See travis-ci/travis-ci#5227

This isn't anything to do with these specific changes.

@zaphod42 I tried to use the similar fix from your link, but did not resolve the build failure. Weird issue indeed...

I've just added a test for what I think this problem is and it works on my machine without any code changes (Java 7). Please submit a failing test.

The fundamental problem appears to be that the JAXB people didn't read the JavaBean spec. That said, I just tried a version of your code and couldn't get it to work because there's no property descriptor for is. Please add a test to demonstrate the behaviour.

@sf105 I couldn't reproduce the issue I have been facing... In my code, somehow I can get a PropertyDescriptor for the Boolean field with an empty getter method, and my first modification was to fix that issue. I tried to use exact same class from my project, but still got null PropertyDescriptor. Not sure what causes this different behaviour.

Regardless I have added an extra code in PropertyUtil to cover this empty case.

@buraequete fancy rebasing this from master, as hamcrest-core and hamcrest-library have been refactored a lot and also deprecated, so that everything is just in hamcrest.
