Access to MessageDialog object [message #330271]

I want to write a test in JUnit to see that an Error Dialog pops up with
the correct message.

How, in my unit test, do I get at the MessageDialog object my that my
program creates?

I assume I need to do
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay().getActiveShell() or
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDisplay().getActiveShell().getC hildren(), but
from there I'm lost...

I just subclass it and put a static that points to the current instance
for testing purposes. I don't think there is any other way you can find it.
