Am I missing something? I regularly write static methods and test them with JUnit.

  > I regularly write static methods and test them with JUnit Implementing mock objects which return "unexpected" results is impossible with static methods. The standard 1 interface + 1 impl pattern in Java is just so that the Proxy.newProxyInstance can create a decorated or mocked object for testing. So you can test the methods directly, but you can't write failure-inducing methods (like a connect exception throwing one) which test the methods which use it.
