SWTBot application and plugin [message #31135]

Hi list,

I created a SWTBot application (testAppli1). In Eclipse 3.4, I do (File ->
New -> Project -> Plugin project ....) which test appli1 (a rcp
application in my workspace). I want to know if testAppli1 is a plugin ?
If yes, why it's don't extend an extension point of appli1.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes the application is a plugin. A test-plugin (which is still a plugin
with test code) does not "extend from" the extension point of the
application, because there's no such thing as an extension point of the
application :)

What you're probably asking for is why the SWTBot test plugin does not
depend on the application? This is because the test plugin does not need
to depend on any code that's sitting inside your application. Some
people prefer to add that dependency if they want to reuse some pieces
of code to make tests simpler and more robust.

Thanks Ketan for your answer,

How to test my plugin is linked with the application to test it does not
point to expansion?

If testAppli is a plugin of appli1. How I can launch testAppli1 from
appli1?. (I want just to explain my work : I think I don't understand
exactly the SWTBot principle).

Thanks in advance for your help.
