title: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError when mocking static method using EasyMock+PowerMock
body: <p>I am trying to mock static method using EasyMock+PowerMock. If I dont mock the static method, then I get the exception java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError but with a different stack trace which is purely due to my code files and the error is obvious. However, if I mock the static method using EasyMock+PowerMock, the line PowerMock.mockStaticNice(Classname.class) throws the same exception but with a different stack trace. The stack trace is:<br></p>

  <p><br><br>
  The line 125 is PowerMock.mockStaticNice(Classname.class)
  <br><br>
  I have already tried this:<br>
  1) Mention class name containing static method in PrepareForTest({class1.class, class2.class, class3.class})<br>
  2) Mock static methods in @Before annotation.

  I am stuck with this problem for the last 2 days. Kindly suggest solutions.</p>
