dexcache == null error

This issue from the old google code project: https://code.google.com/p/dexmaker/issues/detail?id=2 is still valid as of the released 1.2 version

Java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: dexcache == null (and no default could be found; consider setting the 'dexmaker.dexcache' system property)
at com.google.dexmaker.DexMaker.generateAndLoad(DexMaker.java:359)
at com.google.dexmaker.stock.ProxyBuilder.buildProxyClass(ProxyBuilder.java:252)
at com.google.dexmaker.mockito.DexmakerMockMaker.createMock(DexmakerMockMaker.java:51)
at org.mockito.internal.util.MockUtil.createMock(MockUtil.java:41)
...

However, I verified that it has been fixed in the current github repository (last commit March 12th 2015 - ca74669):

• git clone https://github.com/crittercism/dexmaker.git
• cd dexmaker
• mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
• cp -R ~/.m2/repository/com/google/dexmaker $ANDROID_HOME/extras/android/m2repository/com/google
• and then update project dependency to 1.3-SNAPSHOT

It would be nice to have a 1.3 release so that we can take the workaround lines out of the test setUp() methods:
System.setProperty("dexmaker.dexcache", getContext().getCacheDir().getPath());

Thanks!

Start by checking the current behavior around DexMaker.generateAndLoad, ProxyBuilder.buildProxyClass, and DexmakerMockMaker.createMock, then inspect test setUp() methods using the dexmaker.dexcache workaround. Verify whether the fix is present and determine the repository's release steps; done means a 1.3 release is available and the workaround can be removed from the tests.
