Swing support [message #32851]

I'm using SWTBot to test my Eclipse RCP application. Most things worked
well when I moved some initialization code from the interactive splash
screen handler to the ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor.

Only remaining issue I see is using SWTBot to test an Eclipse plug-in that
has an embedded Swing component. I'm using the SWT_AWT.new_Frame and when
I call the bot.views() method it returns an exception when I try to
retrieve the control for the plug-in that contains the embedded SWT_AWT
frame. It seems the call to getControl() returns NULL.

The code I'm using in the createPartControl for the plug-in is...

public void createPartControl(Composite parent)
{
Composite comp = new Composite(parent,SWT.EMBEDDED | SWT.NO_BACKGROUND);
Frame frame = SWT_AWT.new_Frame(comp);

...
}

Does this code need to be restructured?

SWTBot is not activated at the splash handler so you won't be able to
automate anything at that level.

The code in theory looks fine. I assume that getControl should have
returned the composite that you created. But I'll need to try this out
before I make any comments :)

Could you just try a creating another composite to see what happens ?
