You're simply setting yourself up to kick yourself later for all of the
reasons Tareq pointed out. What would that buy you? You'd save creating
an interface which you can do easily from the implementation or I'm sure
Eclipse has an "interfacify" refactoring.

And yes, I'm hooked on Spring and unit testing with mock objects -- and
it's been only a few weeks! :D

A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a
"Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble.
