From this version on, JMockit artifacts are deployed to the Maven Central repository, under a different "<groupId>" of "com.googlecode.jmockit". Therefore, Maven users should change JMockit dependencies in their pom.xml files accordingly.

From this version on, the Java.net Maven 2 repository is no longer used. Project artifacts are now deployed here. Therefore, Maven users should configure the new repository in their pom.xml files.

Migrating from a previous release

The following changes need to be made to existing JUnit test suites, when migrating from JMockit release 0.97 (or older) to newer releases.

  1. First of all, recompile all test sources with the new jmockit.jar in the classpath.
  2. Any test classes that extended junit.framework.TestCase now need to extend mockit.integration.junit3.JMockitTestCase, unless the test suite is always run with "-javaagent:jmockit.jar". Alternatively, the test class can be converted to JUnit 4, with the addition of @RunWith(JMockit.class) to the class and of @Test to its test methods.
  3. In any test class which itself extends mockit.Expectations, if there is any initialization of instance fields outside of a @Before/setUp method, then a JUnit fixture setup method will have to be created to perform the initialization. This is necessary because now any mock fields of the test class will only be assigned after the test class instance is created (but before any setup or test methods are executed).
  4. If an Expectations subclass (which can be a test class, an anonymous inner class inside a test method, and so on) declares two or more mock fields of the same type or with a common base type, then these fields must mock exactly the same set of methods and constructors belonging to the common class types. By default, all methods and constructors are mocked, so this issue can only happen when (static) partial mocking is used, through the methods or value attribute of the MockField/Mocked annotation. So, if that's the case, simply copy the mock filters specified in one mock field to the others.
  5. JMockit now restores mocked classes automatically both for test-scoped and test class-scoped mocks. Consequently, none of the methods Mockit.tearDownMocks(), Mockit.restoreAllOriginalDefinitions(), or Mockit.restoreOriginalDefinition(...) need to be explicitly called anymore, unless a given test method really needs to restore some mocked class before the test completes its execution. This also means that classes that remained mocked between tests or from one test class to the next in the suite, will not remain mocked as before, but will be restored automatically either between individual tests, or from one test class to the next. Therefore, it will be necessary to set up the mocks again at the appropriate point (for example, in a @Before or @BeforeClass method when using JUnit 4).

It should be easy enough to adapt existing tests according to the incompatibilities listed above. If after making such changes some tests remain broken that weren't before, please let me know.
