[news.eclipse.tools] Re: SWT GUI Tester

[_mcbear@xxxxxxx (mcBear)]

Hi, Geoff

Some times ago, I looked for same tools over Internet, but I not found it.
I got abbot (http://abbot.sf.net) as prototype of my own system, and found
out that abbot's ideology works fine for SWT. For user event symulation i
wrote little c++ library, that puts keyboard and mouse events into
XWindows directly.
After that I rewrited Robot, ComponentFinder, and all tester classes.
