Partial mocking in the Mockito API doesn't work for non-final methods

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Partial mocking the following class doesn't work:

class UnderTest
{
       String test()
       {
               String s = getString();
               System.out.println(s);
               return s;
       }

       String getString() { return "REAL VALUE"; }
}

I.e. we'd like to partial mock the "getString" method and invoke the test
method. If we were to change the modifier of the test method to final then
it would suddenly work. If the modifier is not final the MockGateway never
intercepts the call for some reason. Maybe it's something wrong with the
byte-code manipulation but I'm not sure at this moment. It works fine with
the EasyMock API though.

It doesn't work with Javassist 3.10 or 3.11 either

Old mockPartial methods have been removed. You should now use 
PowerMockito.spy(..)
instead
