Re: [MO-java-dev] Project Status/Questions

[Jeff M. <je...@mk...>]

The Mock Objects project is still active, but has slowed. The reason for
this is that it now seems to fill the requirements that most people have
for it.

New classes/methods are being added to it, but this is done as and when
they are needed. Since we now have mocks for most of the commonly used
classes there are few new methods being added.

A release candidate for the next release was put up on sourceforge
recently, but it's not been officially released (I've not had time). As
far as I know no one has raised any issues with the code so it can be
considered to be the next release.

If you have any specific requirements for things to be added (e.g.
CallableStatement) just let us know and we'll see what we can do.
Although it's nice when people send in patches for things they need
added.

The web site is just one of those things that's been needing doing for a
while but no one got around to it, and it's just now got broken.
