not able to update mockito version

[imod]

This little example works fine with the current default mockito version (1.10.19) used by spring-boot.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
public class DummyTest {

	@MockBean
	private Dummy dummyMock;

	@Test
	public void testDummy() {
		when(dummyMock.getIt()).thenReturn("AA");
		assertNotNull(dummyMock.getIt());
	}

	public static interface Dummy {
		public String getIt();
	}

}

upgrading mockito to any higher version (e.g. 2.2.29) will cause this test to fail with this exception:

Specially for Kotlin users it would be great to be able to update, because with Mockito 2 org.mockito.plugins.MockMaker was introduced to simplify mocking of final classes in Java and consequently all classes and member functions in Kotlin.
