Description

Isis standardized on using JMock a while back, however as a library it doesn't seem to be keeping up.

Specifically, its mocking of classes depends on cglib 2.x (and therefore asm 3.x), which conflicts with cglib 3/ asm 4.x (required for JDK 7).

Candidates to replace it are mockito and jmockit. Personally I don't much like mockito; jmockit comes out well in this comparison:
