[swtbot-dev] SWT Bot generator for pure Eclipse 4 apps (no dependency on

[Sopot Çela <sopotcela@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the SWTBot generator on a couple of pure Eclipse 4 RCP apps I have and it's not working (it's not starting at all). I noticed the generator depends on org.eclipse.ui which drags all the 3.x dependencies, although I feel they're not always needed. I think the only dependency on the 3.x is the way it is activated (AbstractUIPlugin) and something related to the IPartListener2. I'd like to remove all dependencies to org.eclipse.ui in order just to use a plain generator (no JDT support etc.). Do you think I'm being too optimistic about the effort?

Are you interested in a contribution in the main codebase or should I fork everything ? We can have an o.e.swtbot.e4.generator initially so I don't mess with the existing one. This can be used for Eclipse 4 RCPs with no compat layer (like mine).

Best regards,
Sopot
