I suspect that as a platform developer, you are not familiar
with the nice environment that Eclipse provides for project
developers.
Please spend some efforts trying to read and understand properly the
answers, and ask more explanations if necessary before suspecting
anyone for not being familiar with the technology they've built.
I recognize two ways of running my tests.
a) as standalone JUnit tests
b) as Plugin JUnit tests
Both require the launch config to specify/re-use the invoking
Eclipse JVM. So no Java 9 in Eclipse => no testing.
Those 2 ways are in the category properly named by Dani "testing
from the IDE". As you understood, they do require the JDT's Java 9
support to work.
What you're missing to recognize are the other JDT-independent ways
to run/test a plugin. For example starting directly an Eclipse
Platform which hosts your plugins, or orchestrating tests from the
command-line (once again properly described by Dani in his email).
In case your project has no dependency on JDT, then simply running
it as a separate process which uses Java 9 should be enough.
