Description Micah Hainline CLA 2008-12-16 09:47:35 EST 
Currently the test runner in Eclipse can only run tests from a  single plugin.  This hampers test-driven design for larger projects.  The test runners are also very different in the IDE from the ones available at the command line.  We need a new test runner that is JUnit4 enabled, able to run all tests in multiple plugins (perhaps feature-based), and has a command-line version.  I have spiked this out enough to know that it can be done without a killer amount of effort, though it is by no means a small task.  

Since there is not a nice way to create a dynamic test suite in JUnit4, and because we don't even have a way to run JUnit4 plugin tests from the command line, this would be particularly valuable for those folks.
