Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-8490:
--------------------------------------------
On the mocking point specifically, that hasn't been true for a very long time.
Mockito, EasyMock, etc., can all mock concrete and even final classes without
any trouble. Using interfaces is absolutely not required. I vaguely recall this
being a problem circa 2005 and maybe Java 1.2, but it really no longer is an
issue.
