Annotation Type DoNotMock

@Inherited @Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({TYPE,ANNOTATION_TYPE}) public @interface DoNotMock

When marking a type @DoNotMock, you should always point to alternative testing solutions such as standard fakes or other testing utilities.

Mockito tests can enforce this annotation by using a custom MockMaker which intercepts creation of mocks.
