Hi,
I got today a mail from the guy from "continues testing" and it seems that it 
IS quite live, and that there is a good chance, that it will be even included 
in the core JUnit/Eclipse itself.

The mail:

Carsten,

It looks like we do have similar interests.  I'm glad you found the 
plugin useful--if you have any problems with it, or suggestions for 
future work, I'm happy to hear them.

Currently, my plan, which I'm working on with several of the Eclipse 
developers, is to take what I have, and hopefully integrate it directly 
into the Eclipse JDT by June--at that point, it will be as open-source 
as the rest of Eclipse:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=51292

Because of the somewhat tight schedule, I'm not currently planning to 
formally convert it to an open-source project before then--however, the 
source is available from the above link.  I think that there will always 
be a need for third-party plugins outside of Eclipse offering 
cutting-edge services--one thing I could use help with is to think of 
what extension points we need to leave available to make those 
third-party plug-ins possible.

I've looked through the information on the sourceforge projects.  It 
appears that the functionalities of the projects overlap--is that 
right?  I'd like to try one out; which would you suggest?  Thanks,
