Almost all our (Platform, JDT, PDE) test bundles have their class files inside a JAR that's inside the JARed bundle. This is simply for historical reasons: back in the old days, each bundle was in a directory with a JAR that contained the class files. When we started to JAR most of our bundles, we converted them to have the class files directly in the bundle JAR. We did not do this for the test bundles just because there was neither a reason nor a benefit. We can accept patches that fix this, but each patch must fix all test projects inside the same repository for consistency and of course you must verify that all tests are still green before submitting the patch.Thanks a lot for these insights. I've opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=416740 to track this enhancement, and I'll hopefully come back soon with some Gerrit patches. Cheers, |
