Porting Custom Test Exec Demo to TPTP 4.0 [message #12609]

I am trying to port the demo "Building a Custom Test Execution
Environment" from the Eclipse Con. 2005 to TPTP 4.0
(tptp.runtime-TPTP-4.0-200503211143.zip). Has anyone tried this?
For example the extension point org.eclipse.hyades.test.ui.launchableType
is removed in TPTP 4.0. Does anyone know what to use instead?
Is there a description of differences between TPTP 4.0 and earlier
releases somewhere?

The difficulty you have experienced with TPTP 4.0 is unsurprising, as it
is an API breaking release in which we repackaged many of our plugins, and
we have yet to produce a migration guide. We plan to assemble a migration
guide during our iteration 3 (of 4), which begins next week and ends
somewhere around May 6th. Technical documentation for Hyades/TPTP has
been somewhat lacking since the project's inception, but we are slowly
working to address that problem.

To your specific questions, I believe that the launchableType extension
point was renamed to launchconfigLaunchableType, and now lives in the
o.e.hyades.test.core plugin. At a high level, the repackaging that has
been done in 4.0 has essentially collapsed all of the test related plugins
from 3.3 into 4 plugins in 4.0. The 4 plugins are:

o.e.hyades.test.core Core TPTP Test framework (non-UI)
o.e.hyades.test.tools.core Core TPTP Tool support (non-UI code
supporting JUnit, URL and Manual test types)
o.e.hyades.test.ui TPTP UI framework code (generic editors
and viewers, UI extension points, etc.)
o.e.hyades.test.tools.ui TPTP Tool UI code (test type
specific editors, viewers, etc.)

The two "tools" plugins contain the code to support the three built in
test types, while the other two plugins contain the TPTP test framework.
The goal is that you should be able to add support for your own test type
using only test.core and test.ui. If you can validate this sooner than we
can, it would be valuable to get your feedback.

In writing the EclipseCon tutorial, in many places I worked backward from
the existing tool implementations. This technique may prove useful to you
as you move forward on your project. If you have not done so already, you
may want to subscribe to the tptp-testing-tools-dev@eclipse.org mailing
list. It is useful for developers -- often there will be postings about
known defects and their workarounds, for example.

Thanks,
