  P.S. I have some questions about using MockObjects in
my LifeblogTest.
  The problem being that it seems to me that most existing tests go
 through cactus and require a container.  So I'm getting null pointers
 and stuff because the XWiki object is not set up right.  So per your
 suggestion I'm going to try to do this through jmock and mockobjects
 (I need both right ?). I didn't see jdk5 jars in the mockobjects tar
 file so I suppose I should use the 1.4 j2ee 1.3 ones.

 I'm going through the doc and I'll post some detailed questions later
 on if I need too. 
JMock dynamically generate the mocks for you so there's no need to have any
mock class anywhere. JMock/EasyMock/DynaMock all use what is called dynamic
mocks as opposed to static mocks that was done by the mockobjects.jar jar
before.

Check the JMock getting started guide:
