[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: How to run JUnit plugin tests from command l

[anki_daiict@xxxxxxxxx (ankit baphna)]

I found out a solution for this problem. You need to follow the following 
approach:

1) Make a new class that implements IStartup interface. Add a method in it 
as shown below:

	@Override
	public void earlyStartup() {
		TestResult result = new TestResult();
		AllTests.suite().run(result);
	}

There should be nothing like AllTests.suite().run(result) in your AllTests 
class.

2)Add an extension to your project "org.eclipse.ui.startup" (in the 
manifest editor). Double click on this after adding and then associate the 
class that you created in step 1 with this.

3) From eclipse run your plug-in/fragment as Eclipse Application. That 
will open a runtime eclipse and runs your tests on top of it as required. 

4) Now go to the debug mode, right click on the main thread and see 
properties. Copy the command line argument from there and then run it from 
anywhere you want :)

Note: Delete the runtime-EclipseApplication folder from your workspace 
every time you run the command from the command line and don't delete the 
metadata from your workspace. If you delete workspace then you again have 
to repeat the whole procedure rather than just using the command next time.

Hope this will help.
