[news.eclipse.platform] Re: how to determine programmatically if auto-bu

For the Core tests...

For Source projects:
- Create and anonymous pserver CVS connection to dev.eclipse.org
- check out:
   org.eclipse.core.test.harness
   org.eclipse.core.test.resources
   org.eclipse.core.test.runtime
   org.eclipse.test
   <may also need performance test project...check Problems view for 
errors>

Alternatively you can:
- download the Automated Tests zip
- extract the tests zip file found WITHIN the downloaded zip
- include it in your target platform
- add the plug-ins to the Java search path via the Plug-ins view context 
menu (allows you open types, search for references, etc)
- or import plug-ins as binary

When you unzip the files, you can either unzip them to your Eclipse 
install or create an extension dir. (as explained in the Help docs)
