[SWTBot-users] Plugin incompatibilities of RCP application and SWT Bot

[Hans S. <han...@ya...>]

I just want to assure you that when this works for us testing our RCP application, I will contribute in support. Would be a great thing to use it because I am very lucky to avoid heavy weight solutions like Squish or QF Test.

But here is now my new question. I got farther, but new problems arose.

For our RCP application I have to configure in Eclipse "Windows>Preferences->Plug-in-Development>Target Platform>Target Platform>Plug-ins". There I point to another folder, not the standard Eclipse plugins folder. It is because our RCP application doesn't need all the plugins of Eclipse.

When I add the RCPMail example to my Eclipse, I get compile errors because of that. For example all the SWT Bot plugins are not known because of the above setting. So I copy the SWT Plugins and some other plugins needed for SWT Bot to the RCP application plugins folder and refresh Eclipse preferences.

But I still get compile errors and cannot start the RCPMail example and after adding the additional plugins cannot start our RCP aplication anymore. So it seems that it doesn't fit together right now.

I will fight my way through to get it working. Because of the time zone I write you this now. Maybe you have an idea or a link to a How-to or so. Otherwise I try and would write you again on this if I don't succeed.

I hope I could describe my problem. It is a little bit hard to explain.
