Hi,

when inspecting jmock to fix Vcs fields I also fixed the watch file and
realised Debian is lagging way behind upstream.  Since the new version has
lots of changes I hesitated to even try upgrading and leave this to
someone more educated with this package.

Kind regards
    Andreas.

I did all the necessary things to upgrade to latest upstream version in
the new branch 2.x. However uploading it would break 5 or 6 rdeps
(nothing difficult to fix I guess, but it is not worth upgrading given
that the current jmock works well and there would be thinks to change in
the rdeps).

But hopefully in the future the work in the 2.x branch will prove useful :)
