Apologies for the tangent, but is this considered idiomatic Java these days? As a person who knows/knew Java pretty well but has been out of the game for a few years, this code seems highly surprising. Instantiating an anonymous subclass with a static initializer to... I suppose be able to use those @Mocked annotations. Then assigning result in that anonymous initializer block, which I must assume works through black magic.

No criticism of your code example. I think figuring out how to make Java do this is very impressive. I just wonder if it's considered wise to do this sort of thing in production code?

(Edited to correct that I don't think that's a static initializer block.)

Generally this would not be done in production code. jMockit is pretty out there, syntax - wise, and the anonymous inner classes are generally discouraged in production code. In tests are generally fine though. which is why jMockit can get away with it.
