[platform-ui-dev] How to setup and run UI And Runtime Unit tests from wo

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In exploring how to use Git, I figured
one test of "correctness" would be to run the unit tests. 

But, I see some issues, so thought I'd
post here, to see if I'm missing something, or if there are some directions
documented somewhere? 

Starting with a clean Eclipse SDK from
Juno M1 as development environment,  I followed the directions in


http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Git

and imported "master" versions
of all existing projects, from following two repos
        ssh://<userid>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git

        ssh://<userid>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.runtime.git


plus imported from CVS Head
        org.eclipse.test.performance
 


This gave me 73 projects in my workspace.

Sound right so far? 

There were compile errors in 5 of them,
so I "closed" those: 3 related to platforms 
org.eclipse.ui.win32
org.eclipse.ui.carbon
org.eclipse.ui.cocoa

and two related to examples .. I'm assuming
that are not used? 
org.eclipse.ui.examples.views.properties.tabbed.hockeyleague
org.eclipse.ui.examples.views.properties.tabbed.logic

This was on Linux. Similar on windows,
except no compile errors in org.eclipse.ui.win32 so did not close that
project there. 

Sound right so far? 

So, I noticed 10 launchers were "built
in" once I imported all these projects, so tried running each of them.
Results below. My results on Windows were similar to Linux, except Windows
had an additional error in 'testRemove' in the "All Runtime Tests"
suite. 

So ... I'm wondering. Is there something
I'm missing? Wrong branches/versions imported? Impossible to run these
"live" from workspace? Is there some setup others use to get
all the tests to pass? Or are these errors common issues everyone knows
about when running from workspace? Or, are these just bugs I should document?
Do they pass in "batch mode", but not from workspace? 

As I mentioned, I mostly just wanted
to sanity check my setup ... I'm not that concerned about the tests, per
se. 

Thanks for any insights or pointers.
