Re: [MO-java-dev] .NET Mock Objects?

[Griffin C. <gri...@ho...>]

Ah, very cool..

Hadn't noticed the nat module in the java implementation, yet.

Yes, more .NET Mock Objects are coming.  System.Data is up first...

As for rolling in NMock stuff, I am thinking that would be a good thing as 
opposed to keeping it in the java implementation.  .NET developers might not 
know it is there.

Steve, Tim, or Philip, want to chime in as how to structure/organize these 
kinds of things?
