Peter De Maeyer commented on CXF-8381:
--------------------------------------
I took a quick look at the source code what it would take to migrate from
EasyMock to Mockito... 322 occurrences.
That's a lot of work to do all at once, but maybe it can be done gradually,
_if_ there is an agreement at least that it would be a good idea...
Since it's been over 10 years since I used EasyMock, I took a trip down memory
lane by looking at one of the tests, and immediately I remembered why I like
Mockito so much better:
# EasyMock has an annoying coupling of expectations (expected invocations) and
the mocking/stubbing of behavior. Mockito decouples both, which is much more
intuitive and elegant.
# EasyMock has this silly 'replay' that you have to call to switch your mock in
the right state. I had almost forgotten (more like suppressed it from memory).

> Key: CXF-8381
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-8381
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.4.1
> Reporter: Peter De Maeyer
> Priority: Minor
>
> When I build cxf master with Java 11, there is a warning about an illegal
> reflective access operation:
> {noformat}
> [ERROR] WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
> [ERROR] WARNING: Illegal reflective access by
> org.easymock.cglib.core.ReflectUtils$1
> (file:/home/peter/.m2/repository/org/easymock/easymock/4.2/easymock-4.2.jar)
> to method
> java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(java.lang.String,byte[],int,int,java.security.ProtectionDomain)
> [ERROR] WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of
> org.easymock.cglib.core.ReflectUtils$1
> [ERROR] WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further
> illegal reflective access operations
> [ERROR] WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future
> release
> {noformat}
> This probably needs to be fixed in EasyMock, or maybe it is already fixed in
> EasyMock and CXF just needs to bump the version of the dependency?
> Slightly off topic: I was surprised EasyMock is still alive...
> I switched from EasyMock to Mockito 15 years ago or so, across different
> companies and different projects, and never looked back.
> Could CXF consider doing the same?
