[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: advice on test after deployment of RCP a

["Robbie Jameson" <robbie.jameson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stefan,

Many thanks for your reply.

I mean how do you test an RCP application once some ant build scripts have
built it and it is deployed somewhere entirely outside of the Eclipse IDE.

If I am inside the IDE, I can run a plug-in test that will launch the RCP
application for me and hand over control to the junit tests that will play
about with it. I don't know how to reproduce this (for example in an ant
script) when I'm outside of the IDE, the application is stand-alone, and
there's no GUI and no Eclipse to help me set up this kind of special launch.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Robbie.
