Re: [platform-swt-dev] org.eclipse.test dependencies in SWT tests

[Leo Ufimtsev <lufimtse@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems that org.eclipse.test is used for swt's performance tests and for capturing screenshots in browser tests.

However, I'm not sure if anyone is using the performance tests and the screenshots were only used when one of the browser tests was failing.

I'm in favour of either removing external dependencies or commenting them out so as to only enable them on demand (ex when troubleshooting a test case), or re-writing them so that they are not needed.

Hello,

I noticed today that there is an org.eclipse.test dependency in the SWT JUnit tests, specifically:

Test_org_eclispe_swt_widgets_Display.java

Is this still needed? Ideally the SWT tests should be pure SWT only to prevent having to pull in extra dependencies when doing testing.

If it's not crucial to have it there I'd like to remove it. Those who need it can add it back in locally.
