[cdt-dev] CppUnit plugin

["Lescuyer, Martin " <mlescuyer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 

Hi !

 

As Rational intends to build component testing tools on the top of it, please find here a proposal to contribute a new Cdt-Plugin supporting the component testing development, execution, and reporting, based on the CppUnit framework, just as the org.eclipse.jdt.junit plugin does for Java.

 

This would be based on a very simple wizard generating an empty test driver.

In addition to this, executing it "as a CppUnit Test" (with a new launch shortcut) will send results through a socket back to the workbench for a display in a specific CppUnit view.

In 2 words, nothing more or less than what is in org.eclipse.jdt.junit.

 

I already see some evolutions of this plugin for further integration with a builder and a new CDom. First version without.

 

Thanks in advance for your comments.
