/**
* <ul>
* <li>Allows shorthand mock and spy injection.</li>
* <li>Minimizes repetitive mock and spy injection.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* Currently it only supports setter injection. If you prefer constructor injection - please contribute a patch.
* <p>
* Mockito tries to inject by type (using name in case types are the same).
* Mockito does not throw anything when injection fails - you will have to satisfy the dependencies manually.
* <p>
* Example:
* <pre>
* public class ArticleManagerTest extends SampleBaseTestCase {
*
* @Mock private ArticleCalculator calculator;
* @Mock private ArticleDatabase database;
* @Spy private UserProvider userProvider = new ConsumerUserProvider();
*
* @InjectMocks private ArticleManager manager = new ArticleManager();
*
* @Test public void shouldDoSomething() {
* manager.initiateArticle();
* verify(database).addListener(any(ArticleListener.class));
* }
* }
*
* public class SampleBaseTestCase {
*
* @Before public void initMocks() {
* MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* <b>The field annotated with @InjectMocks must be initialized.</b>
* <p>
* <b><code>MockitoAnnotations.injectMocks(this)</code></b> method has to called to initialize annotated objects.
* <p>
* In above example, <code>injectMocks()</code> is called in @Before (JUnit4) method of test's base class.
* For JUnit3 <code>injectMocks()</code> can go to <code>setup()</code> method of a base class.
* You can also put injectMocks() in your JUnit runner (@RunWith) or use built-in runners: {@link org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner}
