This topic is along the same lines as the following topic:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/778179/#msg_778179

I am using EclipseSpy to get information on the widgets, but I do not know how to use the information. Below is a sample of EclipseSpy output for something on one of the toolbars. Given this info, how would I "click" this widget?

Thanks,
Herb Miller

EclipseSpy won't really help you to use SWTBot.
To use SWTBot, just make you TestClass implement SWTBotEclipseTestCase,
and use the bot field to find the widget you want using its label or
other useful attributes.

EclipseSpy is good for developing the Matchers inside SWTBot as it's an
easy way to get details about some widgets. It's, as far as I
understand, a good tool for SWTBot extenders and contributors, it's not
helpful for end-users.
Maybe you'll be more interested into this:

Yes, that link was very good. The video did not come through, but I will try it later with another browser. I am anxious to try this Recorder/Generator. My guess is it will generate a couple of more topics Wink

Thanks,

Actually this is quite new and we've not make as much efforts in general
usability as it would deserve. It will be included in next release (next
week hopefully). Then your feedback will be highly welcome to make this
tool better!
