Description Rüdiger Herrmann CLA 2011-04-25 10:49:55 EDT 
Writing tests could be made easier in some areas if there were a "mocking framework":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mock_object available.
There are several implementations to choose from:
* "JMock":http://www.jmock.org
* "Mockito":http://mockito.org
* "EasyMock":http://easymock.org
* ...
My preferred choice is "Mockito":http://mockito.org, moreover it is available from Orbit. 
To effectively use any mocking framework, generics as introduced with Java 1.5 are a necessity. Hence we would need increase the minimum required execution environment and change the build to run tests with a 1.5 JRE; at least for the test projects (see also bug bug 340310).

Please let me know if you find this useful. If so, I would go on and open a CQ.

+1. I can also recommend mockito.
Comment 2 Beyhan Veliev CLA 2011-04-26 04:10:22 EDT 
+1. Could be very useful for some tests.

Just for the record: I opened "QC 5114":https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5114

The CQ "5114":https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5114 just has been approved.

Mockito is in use now for a while. Apparently we forgot to resolve this issue.
