Howdy,
The abbot code is in Subversion these days, not in CVS anymore. So go to the SVN link under the "Code" tab and follow the instructions. The URL for abbot.swt you want is https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/abbot/abbot.swt/trunk/abbot.swt (and friends).
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Gary

But there are few more questions. i'm still struggling with builiding abbot.swt
when i check out the project with the name abbot.swt.. it is not checked out as java project.
so i again check out the project as a java project. but then this project does not have plugin.xml. i got plugin.xml from cvs and added to the project.
now when i try to do update the classpath using plugin.xml, i get an error
"cannot nest'abbot.swt/sr'inside 'abbot.swt. To enable the nesting exclude 'src/'from 'abbot.swt'."
when i try to run build.xml, i get the compile time errors.
so actually i'm not able to proceed up at all. :(
Hope you can really help me .. like how to build abbot.swt in such a way tht i can use it to prepare test cases.
Thanx a ton

It should be a plugin project (which includes the java nature). The
.project file defines the natures available to eclipse, which includes
the Java one.
The CVS and SVN don't appear to be in sync, I have no idea which one
should be used.
Looking at the timestamps, it would appear that CVS is out of date.

I'd use the SVN version, I've had more luck with that.
However the instructions need some tweaking.
After checking out the project you need to manually delete the
classpath information from the project by, Right click the project in
the Package Explorer > Build Path > Configure Build Path... > Java
Build Path > Source (tab), delete and "Source folders on build path"
and ensure that "Default output folder:" is "abbot.swt/bin".
After doing this, you can then select the file MANIFEST/META-INF.MF
and Right Click > PDE Tools > Update Classpath...
And then there will be no errors.
I didn't need to use "build.xml" for any of them besides the
"abbot.plain" project.

Thanx once again Gary.
But i need little more help.
the steps you told made the project look better, but still its not looking as beautiful as i would like it to look.
After removing the source folders, and updating the classpath, when i build the project errors again creep in.
the various errors i'm getting are:-
1. in manifest.mf>> error is at org.eclipse.swt;bundle-version='[3.2.0,4.0.0]' the error is >> unsatisfied version constraint :'org.eclipse.swt;[3.2.0,4.0.0]'.
The version of eclipse i'm using is 3.2.1.
i also tried adding the following jars:- org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.2.0v3232m.jar &&
org.eclipse.swt_3.2.0.v3232o.jar.. however, it didnt help.
2.in src package, under abbot.swt package we have a class Robot.java.. I'm getting the errors for BUTTON4 and BUTTON5. now this need some programing changes as rest of the buttons have been declared programiticaly.
3. the other class where the error is SWTHierarchy.java for tree.getColumns.
4. the next class is ImageComparator.java for getHSB.
now do we need to do the changes in program to remove such errors ??
thank you

I'm looking for build test GUI with Abbot.
My application is written with SWT. I found lot of works about it on cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/abbot
But it's difficult to compile an Abbot version compatible with SWT (because there are too much projects and ressources on CVS).
Do you plan to build a complete package (with Costello) for supporting SWT on Abbot ?
Thank you
Thank you for your response.
I will try to compile Abbot for swt.
(But i have to find what swt....dll and swt.jar for java 1.5 and eclipse 3.01, i have to use ...)
I don't see any classes of Costello for SWT.
Does Costello for SWT exist?
thank you
Currently, Abbot for SWT requires Java >= 1.5 and Eclipse >= 3.2.0.
There is no Costello for SWT. But I hope we can get that going at some point.
