JUnit Plugin Class-Loader [message #61266]

I wanted to know about how the JUnit plugin or the JDT runs code in
..class files residing in projects in the workspace. I'm wroting a
plugin that needs to load up and use classes from a Java project in the
workspace. I wasn't sure how I could tell the plugin classloader to
include the appropriate project's bin directory (or the root dir if a
bin directory is not used) in the search space. Any tips would be most
appreciated.

Thank you,

Cohan

Thanks! The article recommended I write my own class-loader. However, I
am worried about class-path and inter-project dependencies. What if the
class depended on a jar in another project? Isn't there any code in the
JDT (it executes java code in the workspace) or in the JUnit plugin
(which uses TestCases in the workspace) that I can reuse? I did a code
search but did not find the class-loaders that those plugins use. Thank
you.

As far as I know neither of them, JDT nor JUnit, run user code from a
project workspace within the IDE's JVM. When you run JUnit, it launches
another JVM to actually run the tests. And the JDT, if you are thinking
of scrapbook, also launches another JVM to do the scratchbook.

It's just something that really shouldn't be done. It's not safe.
