Re: [SWTBot-users] PDE as a workaround for SWT Bot?

[Ketan P. <ket...@gm...>]

PDE tests are JUnit based tests, where you grab things in the UI using
PDE and the available eclipse API. They're difficult to write (but run
faster) as they need more time.

Your tests should have a good proportion of JUnit and functional
tests, SWTBot fits in the later.
