error/warning marker "decorations"? [message #664417]

Can SWTBot access error or warning markers? For example in the java
editor pane when there are errors (the little red "x" inthe left column.)

The app I'm testing (an eclipse plugin IDE for a specialized language)
also uses these types of "decorations" in the "Project Explorer" view
(similar to the "Package Explorer" view) by changing the icons used to
ones with little red "x"s in the lower left corner of each icon up the
tree. ... is it possible to determine information about those icons so I
can introduce an error in the source file, then check the Project
Explorer tree and see if the proper tree node icon is being used?

I'm guessing that if this is possible I'd have to have the developers
mark the change in icons explicitly with some changing property? But I
could be wrong.

Anyone doing anything like this?

Thanks

The problem markers are not directly available however, if you can have
SWTBot look at the problem view for the markers and marker details (line
number, message etc) to do something useful.

You can also do IFile#findMarkers() to get a list of all markers
programatically.
