why not MockNotImplementedException (for the not implemented methods) and
MockNotSupportedException (for the not supported methods).

I don't agree here ... (once more :) ). There has been 3 versions of java
since 1.1 (1.2, 1.3 and now 1.4). It is normal to drop support for 1.1.
*all* the I have seen have already dropped support for 1.1 or are seriously
considering it ... Even JUnit is considering dropping it in its next
version.

Even IBM has moved on and is now supporting JDK 1.3 in VAJava and other
products !

I'm -1 to continue support for JDK 1.1 unless it is done at no cost but it
should not hamper anything new. Users of JDK 1.1 will simply need to use
version such of the Mock Objects project and will not be able to benefit
from the latest improvements. In France, we have a saying that goes "One
can't have the butter and the money you bought it with" (le beurre et
l'argent du beurre) which is translated in english by "You can't have your
cake and eat it" .... :)
