SWTBot test run configuration type actually needed? [message #495464]

Hi,

I found that SWTBot test cases for RCP applications can be executed fine using
the PDE JUnit Plug-in Test. Is the special SWTBot test run configuration type
actually needed for this use case? / what is the additional value of that
configuration type compared to the plug-in test?

Greetings,
Ralf

Tests need to run on a non-ui thread[1], hence a different launcher.
Starting 3.5 PDE provides a launcher configuration for this, but I'm
keeping it around for legacy and supporting older versions.
