Hi, I want to raise awareness on the topic of testing. The following are some question/suggestion related to this subject.

1. What's the recommended setup for maven based unit testing?

2. What's the additional configuration required for running Spock based tests? This is probably an OSGi related question.

3. How can integration test (via tycho-surefire) can be configured so that the application is bootstrapped and collaborators are properly injected before tests?

4. TestFX appears to be the front runner project for testing JavaFX applications. As good as it is right now it fails at integration with other tools such as Eclipse 4. This is due to TestFx's base testing class taking charge of instantiating its own Application subclass, bypassing whatever e(fx)clipse requires for proper initialization. What then can be done for creating functional tests with TestFX?

Cheers,
Andres

If you generated your projects using the wizards you already have the
perfect structure for JUnit-Testing

Never worked with that. So can not comment on it

You need one more projects:
* app.junit

I've attached you the one we used to generated for Jemmy where you see
how we configure it

I've already a bug to track addition of TestFX but I have not yet looked
into it.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=448622 I've already
started the IP-Process to get TestFX into the Eclipse Repos
