Hi there,
I try to add automated tests to my JFace and SWT
based Plugin-Components. Therefore I would like to
know:
Q1: Can anyone give me any advice or suggestion?
Q2: How does your component testing works?
Thanks for reading,
Martin (Kersten)

Martin,
I apologize for my confusion. I also am an avid Junit user, but haven't
yet used Junit on my graphical plugins, because of the need to get
components from the Workbench. The link I forwarded seemed to provide a
way to do that. Once you get the components, you're right, there's
still work to be done, and I don't know of a tool that makes it quicker.
Good luck,
David Saff

Well I read about a Swing Testing Framework some time
ago. It head some nice features like recording events
and providing a easier Swing testing by offering
something like skripted events. So you just create
statements like: mouse.click(Component) etc.
Therefore I wondered if something like that exists in swt.
Well I will also check out some tests of the Eclipse
plugins. Maybe there are a lot of things to learn ;)

Well I hope there isn't much luck involved... ;-)

Actually, there are several nice whitebox (or unit-test) GUI test
automation frameworks: see

Unfortunately there is nothing at the moment. Note that this is
probably due to neglect, not infeasibility. There is a blackbox (or
function-test) tool for SWT, Rational XDE Tester (formerly known as
RobotJ). Being blackbox, it lacks JUnit integration, but it does
demonstrate that SWT can be automated.
I'm part of a group that is attempting to extend one of the tools
listed above to handle SWT/JFace. If you'd like to learn more about
the effort, or about the issues involved, check out

If you'd like to help out, please let me know.
