This is what I found from my initial attempts to use JMockIt. I must admit that I found the JMockIt documentation very terse for what it provides and hence I might have missed something. Nonetheless, this is what I understood:

Mockito: List a = mock(ArrayList.class) does not stub out all methods
of List.class by default. a.add("foo") is going to do the usual thing
of adding the element to the list.

JMockIt: @Mocked ArrayList<String> a;
It stubs out all the methods of a by default. So, now a.add("foo")
is not going to work.

This seems like a very big limitation to me in JMockIt.
How do I express the fact that I only want you to give me statistics
of add() method and not replace the function implementation itself
What if I just want JMockIt to count the number of times method  add()
was called, but leave the implementation of add() as is?

I a unable to express this in JMockIt. However, it seems I can do this
in Mockito using spy()

I really want to be proven wrong here. JMockit claims that it can do everything that other mocking frameworks do plus a lot more. Does not seem like the case here

@Test
public void shouldPersistRecalculatedArticle()
{
  Article articleOne = new Article();
  Article articleTwo = new Article();

  when(mockCalculator.countNumberOfRelatedArticles(articleOne)).thenReturn(1);
  when(mockCalculator.countNumberOfRelatedArticles(articleTwo)).thenReturn(12);
  when(mockDatabase.getArticlesFor("Guardian")).thenReturn(asList(articleOne, articleTwo));

  articleManager.updateRelatedArticlesCounters("Guardian");

  InOrder inOrder = inOrder(mockDatabase, mockCalculator);
  inOrder.verify(mockCalculator).countNumberOfRelatedArticles(isA(Article.class));
  inOrder.verify(mockDatabase, times(2)).save((Article) notNull());
}



@Test
public void shouldPersistRecalculatedArticle()
{
  final Article articleOne = new Article();
  final Article articleTwo = new Article();
