Some committers in the Eclipse Scout team have started to investigate Mockito as mocking library. Currently EasyMock is used (version "[2.4.0,3.0.0)").
Some questions/notes:
1) Latest version is 1.9.5. On Orbit: 1.8.4. Should we open a bug for an update?
2) Can we start using Mockito with Kepler or is this too late for introducing a new library?
3) I thing that we should not use 2 different libraries (it is possible, it can be a good transition solution, but the goal should be to use only one).

I was asked per email why we want to migrate. Here is my opinion on the situation:
We need a new Mocking Framework, to be able to mock Objects.
=> This is something the Scout Commiter wants to do in there Test. I got a question about it from Adrian Moser.
Possible solution:
* Upgrade to EasyMock 3.x
* Change to Mockito
Both libs are not yet on Orbit.
(For Mockito, the version 1.8.4 in Orbit seems not to work with Tycho. See comment 1 in the bug).
To try the change, I have migrated the CellTest from EasyMock to Mockito. The effort to migrate a test is not big (the libraries are similar). The big effort is to get everything working in our CBI build.
I my opinion, the trend in the Eclipse Community is to use Mockito. The API of Mockito is more modern, simpler to learn and to use.
At the end I do not care what the final choice is (EasyMock 3.x vs Mockito).
