How do I set up a test project for a Eclipse plugin project
eclipse-plugin, testing
Solution
The recomended way of ding this seems to be with Plug-in fragments:
http://rcpquickstart.com/2007/06/20/unit-testing-plug-ins-with-fragments/
The fragment gets a high-degree of access to your plugin's code and separates the testing logic / dependencies from the plugin itsself.
Now if only I could find a way to test them in an automated system... (see: Automating unit tests (junit) for Eclipse Plugin development )
Problem
I'm working on a eclipse plug-in and I've tried to create another test project seperate from the plug-in. The reason I do this is to not let the plug-in depend on jUnit when it is exported. However, I can't access the Eclipse Plug-in API when I do the testing. Whenever I try to add Plug-in dependencies the import list to that is empty. Does anyone know how to import Eclipse plug-in API to an existing project? The workspace layout looks like this at the moment: ``` +- com.foo.myplugin | | | +- JRE System Library | | | +- Plug-in Dependencies | | | +- src | | | +- icons, META-INF, plugin.xml, etc... | +- com.foo.myplugin.test | +- JRE System Library | +- JUnit 4 | +- src ```
