Development
Mockito publishes every change as a -SNAPSHOT version to a public Sonatype repository. Roughly once a month, we
publish a new minor or patch version to Maven Central. For release automation we use
Shipkit library, Gradle Nexus Publish Plugin.
Fully automated releases are awesome, and you should do that for your libraries, too!
See the latest release notes
and latest documentation. Docs in
javadoc.io are available 24h after release. Read also
about semantic versioning in Mockito.
Older 1.x and 2.x releases are available in
Central Repository
and javadoc.io (documentation).

How to develop Mockito?
To build locally:
./gradlew build
You can open in any IDE that support Gradle, e.g. IntelliJ IDEA, or Fleet.
For Eclipse, one may need to run ./gradlew eclipse before importing the project.
How to release new version?
-
Every change on the main development branch is released as
-SNAPSHOTversion to Sonatype snapshot repo
at https://s01.oss.*sonat**ype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/mockito/mockito-core. -
To release a non-snapshot version to Maven Central push an annotated tag, for example:
git tag -a -m \"Release 3.4.5\" v3.4.5 git push origin v3.4.5 -
At the moment, you may not create releases from GitHub Web UI. Doing so will make the CI build fail because the
CI creates the changelog and posts to GitHub releases. We\’ll support this in the future.
