AssertArrayEquals - show a more useful error message when failing

[dylan-chong]

With the code

assertArrayEquals(new int[]{1,2,3}, new int[]{2,3,4,5});

I get the error message

java.lang.AssertionError: array lengths differed, expected.length=3 actual.length=4

But this doesn't tell me much about why it failed - if the length is wrong, then what are the extra values?

I would rather see an error message that shows both array contents:

java.lang.AssertionError: 
Expected :[1, 2, 3]
Actual   :[2, 3, 4, 5]

Which is actually what you get when you convert your arrays to lists first.

assertEquals(Arrays.asList(1,2,3), Arrays.asList(2,3,4,5));

Could the output format be changed to show both the contents of both arrays?

It looks like this was fixed by #1300

@dylan-chong can you confirm that the above pull fixes your issue?
