I would like to test several functions in my e4 Application, by using JUnit tests.

There are many e4 Objects Injected into this method, the injected objects require other e4 objects and so on.

So I need the e4 Application to be started, bevore the test, in order for all that transitive depepndencies to be sattisfied.


Is there a possibility to start the e4 Application, bevore the Test is started?

Have a look at SWTBot http://www.eclipse.org/swtbot/
This is definitely what your are looking for.

Unfortunately there are still some issues regarding e4. I think you can find out about those issues at their wiki or documentation somewhere. But they are definitely working on those issues at the moment.

You'll probably face a critical issue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=296599 . This makes almost
impossible to test e4 applications with PDE.
However, there is no problem if you use Tycho. You can set the
application argument of Tycho-surefire-plugin to your e4 application,
and make sure the e4 bundles and your application are in the
classpath/dependencies. Then your test plugin will work well.
