At my job we don't use the default eclipse target platform. So, while
playing around with swtbot (version 2), I tried to get the rcpmail sample
running with a different target platform.

It suprised me, that I have to add net.sf.swtbot.eclipse.ui to the target
platform. Otherwise I get this error message: Application
"net.sf.swtbot.eclipse.ui.swtbottestapplication" could not be found in the
registry

net.sf.swtbot.eclipse.ui depends on a lot of plugins. I would prefer not
to add them to my target platform.

As far as I understand, net.sf.swtbot.eclipse.ui starts the tests in a
separate thread. Therefore it has to be installed in the running eclipse,
from which the tests are started. But I don't understand why I need to put
it in my target platform.

Can someone clear this up for me?


Thanks,
Jonas

Hi Jonas,

You would infact need all the SWTBot plugins on the target platform.
This includes the ui plugin and net.sf.swtbot.finder and
net.sf.swtbot.eclipse.finder in addition to the dependencies for swtbot.

I've tried to minimize the dependencies of net.sf.swtbot.eclipse.ui, but
it still pulls in quite some dependencies. Any ideas around reducing
these dependencies are welcome. I'm thinking about splitting the plugin
into two, with one containing the actual UI that's needed in the
runtime, and the other containing the swtbottstapplication, and is
lightweight.

If packaging your plugins is your concern, then here's what I recommend:
Create two features com.foo.example and com.foo.example.test. The test
feature is what contains the test plugins and swtbot, and the is
dependent on the actual feature that contains your application.

It would be nice if the UI and runtime parts are into different plugins or
even features. I actually modified the eclipse bot feature to remove the
pde runtime dependency because it was not part of target platform.

Can you file a patch on bugs.eclipse.org, and I can take a look at it.

I don't know how useful it would be because all i did was comment out the
pde runtime plugin as required in the feature.xml since we don't use pde
to run tests.

I didn't touch the plugins at all so I don't think I have what you might
be thinking.

Perhaps I should create yet another feature that'll allow headless run
and does not depend on pde but just a bunch of minimal features.

I don't think that is needed...I mean anyone can create their own feature
to include what they need. That's not a big deal as long as the plugins
are broken up right.

What you have right now is fine with me.

I also think it would be a good idea too separate ui and a small
swtbottstapplication.

For now I will use Ketan's approach with two features. This will make it a
bit easier to handle all needed plugins.

Thanks,
Jonas

I've already checked this into SVN.

Expect a working build this weekend or early next week.
