Eclipse Favorites to Make Your Java TDD Life Easier
Having a set of commonly-used functions globally available and ready for Ctrl+Space autocomplete goodness can be a nice productivity boost. Eclipse has a feature called “Favorites” which helps with that (under Preferences → Favorites).
These are a few static imports that I use all the time as part of my normal JUnit/Hamcrest/Mockito TDD workflow:
// generally useful, especially for setting up test data
import static java.util.Arrays.asList;
// Hamcrest matchers---use `hamcrest-library` as a dependency
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;
// built-in JUnit assertions like assertThat()
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
//useful with Mockito's ArgumentCaptor
import static org.mockito.Matchers.*;
// Mockito functions like mock() and when()
import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;
