In many cases, to get the test code for Eclipse projects, you have to check 
it out from the CVS source repository.  That is, the test sources are not 
distributed with the Eclipse product, but it is freely available from the 
eclipse.org CVS repository.

The project's web site should have a pointer to their part of the CVS 
repository, and using the Repositories view in the CVS perspective you 
should be able to add an entry (with "anonymous" user) and check out the 
necessary projects.
