While looking into Scala testing, I noticed we're still using JMock 1 (1.2.0) as default. Would anybody oppose upgrading to JMock 2 (2.4.0) by default? [Ed. note: JMock 2.5.1 as of September 22nd, 2008]

JMock 2 features additional and cleaner APIs, but isn't 100% backward compatible with JMock 1. It also requires Java 1.5+.

The main reason I'm asking is because ScalaTest and Scala Specs rely on JMock 2. We could override the defaults for Scala projects but I figured it would be better to have consistent defaults between Java/Scala.
