I suspect that as a platform developer, you are not familiar with the
nice environment that Eclipse provides for project developers.
Please spend some efforts trying to read and understand properly the
answers, and ask more explanations if necessary before suspecting anyone
for not being familiar with the technology they've built.
I recognize two ways of running my tests.
a) as standalone JUnit tests
b) as Plugin JUnit tests
Both require the launch config to specify/re-use the invoking Eclipse
JVM. So no Java 9 in Eclipse => no testing.
Those 2 ways are in the category properly named by Dani "testing from
the IDE". As you understood, they do require the JDT's Java 9 support to
work.
What you're missing to recognize are the other JDT-independent ways to
run/test a plugin. For example starting directly an Eclipse Platform
which hosts your plugins, or orchestrating tests from the command-line
(once again properly described by Dani in his email). In case your
project has no dependency on JDT, then simply running it as a separate
process which uses Java 9 should be enough.
