I found a simple solution based on this article:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-mocktest.html

In short:
1. refactor the tested class to create the object we want to mock 
with a factory method
2. create a subclass of the tested class, overriding the factory 
method to return a mock object
3. test the subclass
