[news.eclipse.tools] Re: ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace() == null ?

[John Arthorne <john_arthorne@xxxxxxxx>]

I would recommend using the eclipse support for writing junit tests 
against plugins.  Take a look at the project org.eclipse.pde.junit in 
CVS for more info.  With this framework, your tests are run from within 
an Eclipse application, so all plugins, including core.resources, can be 
used without special initialization.
