I am posting this in newcomer because I think this question belongs here. I
am working on an RCP application that involves a ton of plugins, and
classpath problems are making it impossible for me to unit test a very
select portion of the application.
Is it possible to have the same source files, external to the file structure
of a project, linked by more than one project? I would like to edit the
source files (just three or four classes) in one project and when the files
are saved, I should see the same source files in the other project. The
goal would be to unit test the classes in the "other" project.
If it is possible, is it a disastrous idea?
Thanks.
- Mike

Drools has a weird problem that I do not understand. I can test everything
in my main RCP application EXCEPT anything invoking Drools inference engine.
The RCP itself calls Drools and works. But I cannot unit test rules.
I can make a separate project that is entirely a Drools project, and I can
unit test it without problems.
If I make the latter project depend on the RCP application, then my unit
tests in the Drools project fail.
After months of flailing with this, my idea was simply to have the four
classes and rules files be pointed to from a pure Drools project and use
that solely for testing rules; the remainder of the application would
remain in the main project. I don't actually have multiple projects that
need these common source files - just trying to figure out a work around to
a problem I completely don't understand.

Mike,
It sounds most likely that the unit tests doesn't pull in the same
dependencies as the RCP applicaton. Are you running the JUnits using
JUnit Plug-in Test rather that "just as" a Junit Test?

It is possible to create links to external folders, but the natural
question that arises is, why isn't common code put in a common plugin
that's shared by each plugin that needs the common code. Classpath are
easily managed by plugin dependencies so I'm not sure what classpath
issues you're having...
