Hello,

I am not sure where to start helping.  I have not maintained the Simpletest
Eclipse plugin (I am surprised it still works at all) and cannot guarantee
that it works with the version of Eclipse that you are using (I think I did
a quick check when 3.6 was released and confirmed the plugin still worked;
but I have not done any testing with 64bit java).

Have you tried following the step-by-step instructions in the usage
instructions?

http://simpletest.sourceforge.net/en/extension_eclipse.html#usage

These instructions are designed to provide the simplest possible php code to
verify that the plugin is working correctly.  When jump right in with your
own code (or other code) it is hard to know where the problem might lie
(include paths are a frequent problem).  I would suggest looking in your php
error logs and the console output (the plugin dumps the exact command line
command that it uses to the console, so you can copy and paste that to your
own command line to try and resolve the issue as well).  Another place to
look is the Eclipse "Error Log" view - this will tell you if the problem is
the underlying java code.

Hope that helps.
