Dumping jars in the plugin directory does not work (or works randomly,
go figure) since Eclipse 3.4. The new way to install plugins is to use
p2 director or the dropin folder for a more temporary solution. Dump
your jar files in the dropin folder and it *should* work. I've had some
cases where it doesn't and the solution was to poke around in the
Eclipse console (launching eclipse in the command-line with the -console
option) and install manually the jars. It's somewhat a trial and error
process, but here's the general idea:
(I'm using Linux, so forgive me if you're a Windows user)
$ ./eclipse -console
.... eclipse logging ...
$>ss
.... listing of eclipse plugins, swtbot's should be missing ...
$> install file:///path/to/eclipse/dropins/swtbot/jar/file.jar
Installed bundle id 222
$> start 222
.... Exception showing it misses some dependency ...
$> install file:///path/to/dependency/plugin/jar/file.jar
.... etc. etc. until you get it to work ...
Notice the file:// thing in the path after "install"? It's the protocol
spec (same as http://) and is needed because the path is actually an
URI. Under Windows, you would probably have something close to:
file://C:/path/to/eclipse (or is it backslash?)
This whole console thingy (and dropins folder) is part of Equinox (OSGi
implementation), so I think it should work with a product too, but I've
never tested it. If I'm not mistaken, all plugin management related
tools (p2 director included) is part of Equinox and is always bundled
with a product, but, once again, I've never tested it.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
If your product is p2-ready, the right way to achieve installation of SWTBot and your test bundle is to use p2 repositories and install your extensions from them using p2 director from command-line.
See http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_director.html

If I'm right, the 0.0.0 version is just a magic version that is supposed
to match any version.
As for the eclipse.ui dependency, I have no idea why it isn't working.
I'm also mystified as why the junit4.headless components require
org.eclipse.ui to work... it's supposed to not require the UI after all!
Probably that Mickael's solution (p2) is more appropriate then...

Is your jar file an OSGi bundles?

You're right. I'll update a few things on this page, feel free to update it to add the knowledge you got from your experience.

I believe so. I created it as an Eclipse plugin and it seems to have a bunch of bundle-information in MANIFEST.MF.
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: Testscript
Bundle-SymbolicName: org.eclipse.swtbot.testscript; singleton:=true
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0.qualifier
Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.core.runtime,
org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6
Import-Package: org.eclipse.swt.widgets,
org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.finder,
org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder,
org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.utils,
org.eclipse.ui,
org.eclipse.ui.testing,
org.hamcrest.core
Bundle-ClassPath: .,
