Automating unit tests (junit) for Eclipse Plugin development

Question

I am developing Eclipse plugins, and I need to be able to automate the building and execution of the test suite for each plugin. (Using Junit)

Answer 1

We're using the PDE build scripts (see this question), and we export ant build files for our unit-test plugins. These ant build scripts are then invoked from the PDE build scripts (customTargets.xml) using the "ant" ant-task. Unfortunately, this only works with JUnit3. There's supposed to be a JUnit4-adapter for JUnit3 so you can run JUnit4 tests from a JUnit3 test-runner.

We'll probably move to something like Maven; the PDE build scripts aren't really cut out for what we need to do with them.
