@Capturing causes java.lang.LinkageError in JMockit 1.23 (works in earlier versions)

[eugoss]

• Version of JMockit that was used: 1.23
  It works in versions <= 1.22 . It's broken only in 1.23
• Description of the problem or enhancement request:

A LinkageError (attempted duplicate class definition) happened to me several times, under different circumstances, when I was adding tests to our production code, trying to mock interfaces using @Capturing.

Although I cannot bring up the production code here, I created a simplified test instead, which is more or less similar to what I have in real tests. The test works fine with @Mocked, but fails with @Capturing. It's taken from my sample repository, where I used JMockit+JUnit4 to test code based on ICU4J library. But, certainly, it fails not only for ICU4J.

package com.keeprg.icu4test;

import mockit.Capturing;
import org.junit.Test;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

public class Test_Main
{
    @Test
    public void testCount(@Capturing final Log log)
    {
        assertEquals(3, Main.countCharacters("ABC", log));
    }
}

The interface Log is nowhere used in the underlying ICU4J classes, and the test fails with the following error:

java.lang.LinkageError: loader (instance of  sun/misc/Launcher$AppClassLoader): 
attempted  duplicate class definition for name:
"com/ibm/icu/impl/ICUResourceBundleImpl$ResourceTable"
at com.keeprg.icu4test.Test_Main.testCount(Test_Main.java:13)

Being run with -verbose:class it shows that it attempted to load com/ibm/icu/impl/ICUResourceBundleImpl$ResourceTable twice indeed:

Fixed by a previous (and unrelated) commit.

Thanks for reporting.

Awesome! Thanks a lot, Rogério! Yes, I've just noticed, there's 1.24 now,
but didn't have a chance to try it yet, since it's not in the maven repo
yet :)

By the way, thanks for such an awesome framework! Very well designed and
the documentation is excellent. It's a pleasure to work with it.
