Maven speek:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>jmock</groupId>
<artifactId>jmock</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>jmock</groupId>
<artifactId>jmock</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
jMock 2.x is designed to be used at the same time as jMock 1.x. My code uses
both. So how can I define the deps?
