I'd have to agree with the plugin count issue.  I think were fine putting the tests in the ui.tests plugin for now.

We could create a separate plugin, or re-use the cdt.ui.tests plugin. Originally, the test plugin

name/layout was modeled after the JDT test plugin layout, which includes both core and UI

tests in the org.eclipse.jdt.ui.tests plugin. However, they have since split it to have separate

test plugins for the model, compiler and builder.

 

I have to say that I am also getting a little concerned with the sheer number of plugins that the CDT

has. At the end of the day, we have to balance the number of plugins with the amount

of useful code in each one of them. Since we currently have very little JUNIT testcases, the more

prudent approach might be to just build up the CDT model tests in the org.eclipse.cdt.ui.tests

plugin (we will likely build up the other tests as well), and, once we have a significant testsuite,

potentially break it up in multiple plugins.

 

Other thoughts and comments?

I would vote for creating a "org.eclipse.cdt.core.tests" plugins for the parsing tests.

 

Sebastien can request this if this is the way we choose to go.

Hey all,

 

As we're working on the parser/scanner/CDOM, we want to build up an extensive collection of JUnit tests to make sure the model is functioning correctly.  Should we create a new plugin for this or should we reuse the cdt.ui.tests?

 

Thanks,
