[VOTE] to include the Mockito framework
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!

+1 here.

I understand that Mockito facilitates true unit testing of specific
pieces of code. That is a good facility to have.

Having recently played with Mockito myself I can see the benefits it
brings. It would allow us to write more unit tests more easily, and make
them more maintainable.

In terms of usage it is not a disruptive tool: I referred to it as a
framework, but in fact it is a library and totally optional.
Usage examples can be found at
http://docs.mockito.googlecode.com/hg/org/mockito/Mockito.html

could you describe the process you would like to see happen for
incorporating the use of mockito into fop?

Me too. After all Mockito is only needed for build purposes not runtime.
