java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.powermock.api.mockito.internal.mockmaker.PowerMockMaker.isTypeMockable(Ljava/lang/Class;)Lorg/mockito/plugins/MockMaker$TypeMockability;

On 2.0.10-beta I have the same problem as described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31685267/error-initializing-mockito-everytime-and-for-any-test-cases

Then I try on 1.10.19 and the problem is not happened. So it looks as degradation.

The problem is that PowerMock has not yet adapted the changed SPI for custom MockMakers. This is of course unfortunate, but a consequence of improving Mockito. I have given a litt broader answer on the StackOverflow answer you have linked.
