Moin!

We already have written a solution based on the java.bean-api which is part of the jdk. It just dives recursive into the object-tree and compares the properties. If a property is not equal, the property-name will be shown in the standard error / fail-message in junit. It already does what we want, but it is not open available right now and we would like to use that in several projects. 

We could create a maven-artefact in our company-maven-repository, to make it available for all projects in our company, but we think this might be usefull for everyone. Also we think that this is quite a small change and it would be far more elegant to include this in junit itself instead of creating a new artifact that has only this single feature.
So we would like to contribute to junit by adding this to the Assert-class. 

I hope that this is the correct group to get in touch with the junit-maintenance. I would be glad to discuss this in depth if you like the idea!

Greetings!
Jan
