Description Mickael Istria CLA 2013-06-20 04:59:30 EDT 
Currently, the JUnit PDE laucher UI only allows to use a bundle and a Test that are actually in the workspace, as it only seeks for projects.
However, it is interesting in some cases to run a test which is installed in the target platform but not imported as a project. The underlying PDE Test Launcher application seems to provide this ability, so UI should show it as well.
Comment 1 Mickael Istria CLA 2013-06-20 06:14:10 EDT 
This would probably require either some refactorings in org.eclipse.jdt.junit.launcher.JUnitLaunchConfigurationTab (or a replacement for usage of this class in org.eclipse.pde.ui.launcher.TestTab as the usage of IJavaProject to find test classes and methods is deeply integrated in the flow of this page. Instead of an IJavaProject, the PDE wizard could use a new JavaContainer which would allow to resolve content of a bundle as well as Java Project.
Comment 2 Curtis Windatt CLA 2013-06-20 10:09:09 EDT 
This wouldn't be used often in the SDK, as our test bundles are not part of the default target platform.  If the UI is still easy to use for workspace tests, I would review a contribution.
