Bug#718874: libmaven-plugin-testing-java: Please support the latest API of EasyMock for the internal testsuite

[Markus Koschany]

Package: libmaven-plugin-testing-java
Version: 1.2-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

while packaging a new upstream release of EasyMock, version 3.2, I
discovered that its reverse dependency libmaven-plugin-testing-java
fails to build from source because the internal testsuite uses an
outdated API of EasyMock, org.easymock.MockControl

The mentioned class was removed in version 3.0 (released 2010) and
deprecated since version 2.0 (released in December 2005)

Please consider updating the relevant test code, so that a modern
release of EasyMock can be introduced to Debian.

Regards,

Markus Koschany
