/**
 * Mark a field as a mock.
 *
 * 
 * Allows shorthand mock creation.
 * Minimizes repetitive mock creation code.
 * Makes the test class more readable.
 * Makes the verification error easier to read because the field name is used to identify the mock.
 * Automatically detects static mocks of type {@link MockedStatic} and infers the static mock type of the type parameter.

 *
 *       @After public void releaseMocks() throws Exception {
 *           closeable.close();
 *       }
 *   }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * MockitoAnnotations.openMocks(this) method has to be called to initialize annotated objects.
 * In above example, openMocks() is called in @Before (JUnit4) method of test's base class.
 * For JUnit3 openMocks() can go to setup() method of a base class.
 * Instead you can also put openMocks() in your JUnit runner (@RunWith) or use the built-in
 * {@link MockitoJUnitRunner}. Also, make sure to release any mocks after disposing your test class with a corresponding hook.
