Maven: Add Mockito Dependency.

Adding Mockito dependency to your project is pretty simple.

Simply add the dependencies below to your pom.xml.

NOTE: You will need JUnit version 4.4 or earlier. I couldn't get Mockito to work with higher JUnit versions. Also, I did not try any prior version than Junit 4.4.

    org.mockito
    mockito-all
    1.8.5
    test
  

  
    junit
    junit
    4.4
    test
  

Update: I got Mockito 1.8.5 to work with JUnit 4.7. Not sure what changed.

Maven, Spring MVC, Hibernate and Mockito

In this 8 part series, I will cover how to create a simple Maven Web project, and then add Hibernate, Spring MVC and Mockito dependencies. I am assuming you have Maven installed. If not you can learn how to install Maven here.

First we will start with a brand new Maven project:

Step #1: Generate a Maven Webapp project:

mvn archetype:generate

The command above provides us a lot of archetype options. For this demo, we are going to choose #83 that is: maven-archetype-webapp (An archetype which contains a sample Maven Webapp project.).

Below (in bold) were the options I chose:

Choose a number: 80: 83
Choose version:
1: 1.0
2: 1.0-alpha-1
3: 1.0-alpha-2
4: 1.0-alpha-3
5: 1.0-alpha-4
Choose a number: : 5
Define value for property 'groupId': : com.mayabansi.webappdemo
Define value for property 'artifactId': : MavenSpringHibernateMockitoDemo
Define value for property 'version': 1.0-SNAPSHOT:
Define value for property 'package': com.mayabansi.webappdemo:

(NOTE: I have left out the rest of standard maven output for brevity)

Above command created the project structure below:

rhasija@rhasija-desktop ~/workspace/blog_projects/MavenSpringHibernateMockitoDemo $ find . 
.
./src
./src/main
./src/main/webapp
./src/main/webapp/index.jsp
./src/main/webapp/WEB-INF
./src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
./src/main/resources
./pom.xml

rhasija@rhasija-desktop ~/workspace/blog_projects/MavenSpringHibernateMockitoDemo $ 

Step #2: Add basic project to source code control.

Step #3: Make project ready for IntelliJ Idea/Eclipse.

Step #4: Add JBoss Remote Repository as alternate remote repository for Hibernate artifacts.

Step #5: Add Hibernate related dependencies.

Step #6: Add Enterprise Bundle repository to settings.xml

Step #7: Add Spring MVC related dependencies.

Step #8: Add Mockito dependency.

NOTE: The example is complete. I will keep adding to it as I learn new things so as to make the example project richer.

The entire project can be downloaded from GitHub or you can use Git to checkout the project:

git clone git@github.com:RaviH/MavenSpringHibernateMockito.git
