Why does Junit Plugin Test launch a workspace? [message #531973]

I'm using Eclipse 3.5x and I'm executing a JUnit Plugin Test using Junit4. I'm testing plugin projects with no UI and I've deselected the Run in UI Thread. Each time I execute the test a new workspace is launched for the duration of the test.

Is this just the way it works or is there a way to have it not launch the new workspace?

Thanks,
T

Workspace (just your file system), or you mean workbench (what you need
to get a workbench window)? On the Main tab in your Junit launch
config, what happens if you select Run an Application and then pick [No
Application] - Headless mode?
