Paul Richardson commented on JBIDE-18053:
-----------------------------------------

[~nickboldt]
Designer has little need for powermock at the moment since our tests have moved away from testing classes and towards testing interfaces. Consequently, mockito has served as the prime library for this.

Looking at the specific use case of mocking a file, our tests have tended to create a temp file and blow it away afterwards. Not saying this would be appropriate for this use case but has allowed Designer to avoid needing to mock the File class.
