mockito-object-injection VS Mockito

This is pretty exciting... I've used them all libraries at this point in my career: CGLib, ASM, BCEL, ByteBuddy, Javassist, etc... each has its pluses and minuses. I've designed everything from profiling agents, to systems that pack decimals into EBCDIC and invoke COBOL programs on big IBM iron, to lightweight JIT compilers, all using these libraries.

> In 2002, the visitor approach used by ASM seemed clever

I couldn't agree more. The visitor pattern was very hard to explain/justify back then, and still difficult to explain to newbie programmers just entering the profession.

Looking at the examples, I think this is going to be an official replacement for ASM, meaning it's going to be pretty low level. The use of streams pretty straightforward.

If anyone from the JEP is reading this: I have two pieces of feedback!

First, take some inspiration from the way CDI Portable Extensions work. This is probably the most delightful extension API I've ever used. The @Observe callbacks are super simple to explain to people and it's really easy to write extensions for the framework.

Next, I wouldn't ignore the need for a higher-level API akin to ByteBuddy or Javassist. Sometimes I just want to write an interpreter or intercept a method call and thats it.

For example in my Junit/Mockito extension https://github.com/exabrial/mockito-object-injection I need to intercept a call to the class under test in order to lazily inject dependencies at the last possible moment. While I certainly could do this with ASM, Javassist makes this fairly simple with it's MethodHandler api.

Side note, it's a damn shame we don't have a mobile operating system that is JVM native :/ All this cool APIs simply never reach a huge number of devices.

Mockito 5 Released (1 min)🎉 https://github.com/mockito/mockito/releases/tag/v5.0.0

For those using a "release" testBuildType for integration tests, what does your mocking setup look like? My app is stuck on Mockito 2.23.4, because higher (> 1.8.12) versions of Byte Buddy required beyond that point [do not play nicely with non-debuggable APKs](https://github.com/mockito/mockito/issues/2302). Solutions I've considered so far:

Mockito

The code is pretty self explanatory but here's a quick run down. o.getClass().getDeclaredFields() gets us an array of all the fields. We then have a enhanced for loop that loops over the array. Check if the field is annotated field.isAnnotationPresent(Gucci.class). If it is then we set its modifier to true with field.setAccessible(true);. If we don't do this and the field is private we will get an error. Then we get the binary name of the field, field.getGenericType().getTypeName();, remember its just the package and the class name. Lastly we set the value of the field, field.set(o,dynamicInjection(classLoader,binaryName). With that we have now created a dependency injection annotation with the Junit 5 extension model. Now I am sure you can see the tower of exceptions, which is obviously not ideal. I'm not sure how I want to handle all the exceptions yet. However, I will be digging around the Mockito code base to see if I can find how they handle all their exceptions.

Mockito 3.11.* releases

Hi, I've been trying to write parquet files on android for the past couple of days, and have really been struggling to find a solution. My original hypothesis was to just use the java parquet implementation (https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr), but I've since realized that not all java libraries play well with Android. I've gone through essentially dependency hell trying to franken-fit the library into my project, and imported as much as i could before hitting walls such as this one (https://github.com/mockito/mockito/issues/841).
