I am getting this error when I try to mock JTextField.

java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation in interface itable
    initialization: when resolving method
    "javax.swing.text.JTextComponent$1.dropLocationForPoint(
    Ljavax/swing/text/JTextComponent;Ljava/awt/Point;)Ljavax/
    swing/TransferHandler$DropLocation;" the class loader (instance of
    org/powermock/core/classloader/MockClassLoader) of the current
    class, javax/swing/text/JTextComponent$1, and the class loader
    (instance of <bootloader>) for interface
    sun/swing/SwingAccessor$JTextComponentAccessor have different Class
    objects for the type mponent$1.dropLocationForPoint(Ljavax/swing/text/
    JTextComponent;Ljava/awt/Point;)Ljavax/swing/TransferHandler$
    DropLocation; used in the signature
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:191)
at javassist.runtime.Desc.getClassObject(Desc.java:43)

I tried to use this:

@PowerMockIgnore( {"javax.management.*","javax.security.*","javax.ws.*"})

Nothing worked.

Based on the scenario of the cited issue I have come with a workaround: the problem occurs in the static initializer of javax.swing.text.JTextComponent so we might suppress that code using @SuppressStaticInitializationFor("javax.swing.text.JTextComponent").

Here is a working test case (using Powermock 1.6.4):

import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;
import static org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito.mock;

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;

import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.SuppressStaticInitializationFor;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(JOptionPane.class)
@SuppressStaticInitializationFor("javax.swing.text.JTextComponent")
public class PowerMockIssue {
    @Test
    public void powermockTest() {
        final JTextArea textArea = mock(JTextArea.class);
        when(textArea.getText()).thenReturn("test");
        Assert.assertEquals("test", textArea.getText());
    }
}
