What's the best mock framework for Java? [closed]

_x000D_ I've had good success using Mockito. When I tried learning about JMock and EasyMock, I found the learning curve to be a bit steep (though maybe that's just me). I like Mockito because of its simple and clean syntax that I was able to grasp pretty quickly. The minimal syntax is designed to support the common cases very well, although the few times I needed to do something more complicated I found what I wanted was supported and easy to grasp. Here's an (abridged) example from the Mockito homepage: import static org.mockito.Mockito.*; List mockedList = mock(List.class); mockedList.clear(); verify(mockedList).clear(); It doesn't get much simpler than that. The only major downside I can think of is that it won't mock static methods.
