I'll definitively give another try to EasyMock even if the replay/verify style of interaction with the mock doesn't convince me yet ! Hi Henri,

thank you for the clarification !

I’ll definitively give another try to EasyMock even if the replay/verify style of interaction with the mock doesn’t convince me yet !

Anyway, I must say I'm a little bit puzzled by your syntax. A mock is replayed/verified doing replay(mock)/verify(mock). A stub is created doing expect(mock,someMethod()).andStubReturn(something). createNiceMock is used to have the mock returning default values by... default. You can then record a real behavior if needed (stub or not). So I don't feel you've tested EasyMock enough before commenting. However, I must agree on one thing, Mockito really seems to have pull-up some nice ideas. I’m a little bit after the battle since this post is quite old.

Maybe this is not a big problem because when I needed to mock a concrete class (because of bad design) I had had to create my own mock class, for the same bad design reasons.
