Hi,

I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question, but...
How can I use JUnit for testing eclipse plugins, especially extension
points.

I have an RCP application, for which I have defined a few extension
points. I want to test my extension point parsing code. Since extensions
are specified in the plugin.xml file and the junit project is not a
plugin project, how will junit read the plugin xml.

Any examples/samples or pointers to resources that describes this
process would be really helpful.

Thanks
Anand

Anand,

The best place to ask this question would be eclipse.platform unless
you're looking for the TPTP support for plug-in testing.

Standard PDE gives you ability to run your JUnit test cases in Plug-in
environment. Try "Run As->JUnit Plugin Test" - it lets you launch your
RCP headless and execute test cases, eg. access extension points, or
access workspace.

Hi Anand,
TPTP provide analogous support for JUnit plug-in tests called the TPTP
JUnit Plug-in test. See
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/topic/org.eclipse.hyades.test .doc.user/concepts/cintro.htm
for more information.

From your JUnit plug-in test code, you can access the OSGi and PDE APIs
for accessing your plug-in's manifests and extensions/extension points.
