Create an answer recorder

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Some time ago, I needed to verify a sequence of "actions" (returns or throws) 
in a test. For example, if a given method is called on an object, it should 
return a value. If it's called again, it should throw an exception. Since I 
couldn't find any way of stubbing this sequence with Mockito, I created an 
"AnswerRecorder", so that I could do something like this:

Answer<String> answer = AnswerRecorder
                            .forClass(String.class)
                            .recordReturn("Foo")
                            .recordThrow(new IOException.class)
                            .getAnswer();

given(someObject.doSomething()).willAnswer(answer);

The doSomething() method will return "Foo" on the first call and then throw an 
IOException on the second call.

The class and its test are attached.

Hey Otavio,

I'm curious why didn't you simply do:

given(someObject.doSomething()).willReturn("Foo").willThrow(new IOException());

Is it because you overlooked it in the docs (happens to everyone ;) or there 
something more into the AnswerRecorder I don't yet follow?

Oh, sorry... I did overlook it in the docs.

Thank you very much.
