JMockit: Testing Methods that override an Abstract Method

Question

I currently have the following classes:

public abstract class superClass {
    abstract void abstractTest();
}

public class classForTesting extends superClass {
    @Override
    void abstractTest() {
        ...
    }
}

I am currently writing a unit test (using JUnit + JMockit) for classForTesting, but I'm not sure how to test abstractTest(). I tried mocking the superclass, but I still can't call abstractTest().

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

If you don't want abstractTest to be public, then test the method that calls abstractTest. I also changed the class names to start with a capital letter.

public abstract class SuperClass {
    abstract void abstractTest();
}

public class ClassForTesting extends SuperClass {
    @Override
    void abstractTest() {
        ...
    }

    public void publicMethod() {
        abstractTest() 
    }

}

And now test publicMethod:

public class PublicTest {

    private ClassForTesting classForTesting;

    @Before
    public void setUp(){
        classForTesting = ClassForTesting();
    }

    @Test
    public void testMethod() {
        classForTesting.publicMethod();
        ...
    }
}
