I would like to launch a vote to include the Mockito framework and her dependencies in to FOP for unit testing.
Some reasons for introducing a framework for mocking and stubbing, and Mockito in particular, have briefly been expressed [1] and patches have been provided [2] ... [4] that depend upon Mockito. Unit testing in FOP often proves difficult because it can be very hard to factor out dependencies: to run a piece of FOP code often requires substantial configuration. Mockito can go a long way in helping us here, and may even encourage us to write more unit tests!
