that is mockobjects.com/wiki

It seems to me that one of those interfaces, suggested by Sun, that you are
thinking of is J2EE. It is claimed by Sun that the J2EE is free, but they
currently do not allow anyone to write down a J2EE implementation. Thus, there
are no free implementations of J2EE, as far as I know.

It get the impression that MockObjects depends on JDK and J2EE (by looking at
build.xml). If that is the case, your project cannot be hosted here. If I'm
wrong and you can really make MockObjects work without J2EE and JDK, please
tell us about it.
