Start writing unit tests

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We should start writing unit tests and figure out how to test GWTP. After 
testing a couple of classes, the first step should be to enter an issue for 
each class on which we have to write a unit test.

MOCK OBJECTS

EasyMock:

Mockito:

JMock:

I hesitate between EasyMock and Mockito. This last one seems to be very active 
right 
now, it's tempting.

DEPENDENCY INJECTION AND TESTING

GuiceBerry looks like a good way to mix dependency injection and testing. 
Although it 
is meant to be used for integration testing, I feel like it could lead to very 
clean 
unit tests, or tests that would span all the "integration" test hierarchy.

An alternative way to use Guice + JUnit is discussed here:

Started, the framework is fairly well set-up. A lot more tests are needed 
though.

Can someone point me to a sample on how to setup a basic unit testing framework 
for gwtp? I am using it heavily in my project and looking into unit test 
framewoks. I did go thru wiki for gwtp but it was not that useful.
