Missing javadoc - I don't understand usage

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The @Mock annotation has an example usage in javadoc, but I do not understand 
the usage and the optional elements miss their own javadoc. Could you please 
provide more clarification for user beginners? 

http://docs.mockito.googlecode.com/hg/latest/org/mockito/Mock.html#name()

    @Mock(name = "database") private ArticleDatabase dbMock;
    @Mock(answer = RETURNS_MOCKS) private UserProvider userProvider;
    @Mock(extraInterfaces = {Queue.class, Observer.class}) private  articleMonitor;

Can you go through the documentation and examples found in org.mockito.Mockito 
class first? I hope it clarifies the api for you.

I don't wanna seem lazy here, I read the documentation and ctrl+f for @Mock 
there and there are only few references to it and no example usage of the name, 
answer and extraInterfaces optional parameters in the Mockito class. I mean, it 
is not extremely important for me, but I was just really curious about how it 
works and where to use these features and I really can't seem to find the 
description for this specific part of the API. If you're not interested to 
explain, I understand, probably some other important things to do, but do 
notice, that non-experts might not understand the usage of these (including me) 
and the javadoc has no information attached about it.

They are the annotation counterpart of the `MockSetting` configuration class. 
Do you have ideas to improve the javadoc ?

Don't hesitate to propose a PR on github also, with javadoc improvements.

Cheers,
Brice
