Has anyone got any thoughts on testing RCP applications - methods, strategies or plugins to recommend?

A general approach would be interesting to hear.

Also if anyone fancies bonus points Confused

I am also considering a way as to how to make a common RCP for various tools e.g. like a framework using common components ... any thoughts on testing strategies for this?

Any ideas appreciated - even half baked ones.

For Bonita Studio, we use standard JUnit tests for non-UI things. This tests can test components independently.
For UI things, we extensively use SWTBot, which provide a great API to write powerful high-level tests easily, giving a very good covering with very few lines. However, since a UI scenario generally implies several components, these tests can often be run only against the whole application, they are integration tests.

I think that now we have 50%-50% for the two kinds of test in our test suites (~300 tests).
