Hi All,

thanks for your support

I think this is a really amazing feature for the SWTBot project.
Exist a bug entry for this feature?
No, it's a git contribution https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/9301/
I plan to merge it soon (this week) so it will be available on a SNAPSHOT build. I just need to check the legal stuff before merging it.

I'll also create a "Recorder" bugzilla component to track issues.

When will be this feature ready for the next release?
This feature is not critical in term of architecture. Nothing depends on it, and it's "just" a tool. So it's quite easy to include a first "good enough" version checked in and improve it later. It will get soon in SNAPSHOT build, and it will be part of next release (which is still waiting for e4 issues to be resolved https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385527 ).

The generated code seems very close to what we would code by hand (except for i18n and use of IDialogConstants).
The goal, so far, is exactly to provide something that will speed up writing your SWTBot tests. I personnally believe that in real testing, the generated code will almost always require a few refactorings to be more sustainable. i18n is part of the thing that probably can't be handle by the tool and will always have to be fixed manually.
The general goal is to get closer and closer from the ideal code (no need to change it), but IMO there will always be some limitations.

In any case, the code is easy to improve. As soon as it's checked in, you will be highly welcome to suggest improvements.

Cheers,
