    <p>I am developing Eclipse plugins, and I need to be able to automate the building and execution of the test suite for each plugin. (Using Junit)</p> <p>Test are working within Eclipse, and I can break the plugins into the actual plugin and a fragment plugin for unit testing as described <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.test/testframework.html?view=co" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, <a href="http://rcpquickstart.com/2007/08/06/running-automated-tests-with-pde-build/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and in a couple places <a href="http://eclipsenuggets.blogspot.com/2007/09/6-great-links-for-eclipse-build.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p> <p>However, each of the approaches above results in the same issue: The java ant task/commandline command that issues the build or should trigger the test, generates no observable side effects, and returns the value "13". I've tried everything I can find, and I've learned a fair bit about how Eclipse starts up (eg: since v3.3 you can no longer use startup.jar -- it doesn't exist -- but you should use <a href="http://blog.ciscavate.org/2008/11/treat-your-mailing-lists-like-reference-documents-please.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">org.eclipse.equinox.launcher</a>). Unfortunately, while that is apparently necessary information, it is far from sufficient.</p> <p>I am working with Eclipse 3.4, Junit 4.3.1 (the org.junit4 bundle, but I would much rather use JUnit 4.4. See <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/251791">here</a>.)</p> <p>So, my question is: How exactly do you automate the build and testing of Eclipse plugins? </p> <p><em>Edit:</em> To clarify, I <em>want</em> to use something like ant + cruise control, but I can't even get the unit tests to run <em>at all</em> outside of Eclipse. I say "something like" because there are other technologies that accomplish the same thing, and I am not so picky as to discard a solution that works just because it's using say, Maven or Buckminster, if those technologies make this substantially easier.</p> <p><em>Edit2:</em> The 'Java Result 13' mentioned above seems to be caused by the inability to find the coretestrunner. From the log:</p> <pre><code>java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "org.eclipse.test.coretestapplication" could not be found in the registry.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
