[logback-dev] Discussion about mock framework ...

[Christian Trutz]

Hi Tomasz, hi all,

i introduce the JMockIt framework to logback-extensions [1] because only
with this framework I can
entirely mock out the whole MongoDB API and reach for example for
MongoDBAppenderBase a 100% unit test
coverage, without integration tests.
