[pde-dev] Single plug-in in Git. Project Layout

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out the best layout for a single plug-in project in 
Git. The project has a readme.md file (to be visible on the GitHub 
frontpage) and tests. I've tried two options:

1. A plug-in and a test fragment.

/here.is.my.plugin
  /src
  /META-INF
  ...
/here.is.my.plugin.testfragment
  /src
  /META-INF
 ...
/readme.md

The problem with this layout is that since the readme.md file is not 
part of any project, it is not visible in Eclipse.

2. The root of the Git repository is the root of the plug-in. In this 
case I cannot have a test fragment.

/src/main/
/src/test/
/META-INF
/readme.md

This layout seems natural to me. The tests are bundled with code and the 
readme.md is at the root of it all, but I cannot get the JUnit plug-in 
tests to work unless I actually include the test-classes on my 
Bundle-Classpath. What seems to be lacking is that the generated 
"dev.properties" file used by the PDE launcher does not contain the test 
classes. Is there a known remedy for this problem?
