The script - runtests.sh - is currently in bash, but there's a stub -
runtests.xml - which if anyone ever gets around to translating, will run
on win/mac/lin - anywhere that Ant can.
Problem with tests on win and mac is that to do them efficiently we need
a headless UI port, and only linux provides that. Mac provides a single
UI port for all logins, and Windows doesn't even have a notion of UI
ports - everything's on the same port.
So, as Elias suggests, the best you'll ever be able to achieve is
running the tests quasi-interactively as they open/close Eclipse
instances in front of you and you hopefully do not accidentally click or
type in them to interact w/ the tests. Failing that, there's always kvm,
virtualbox, or vmware so you can have your own virtual linux box IN your
windows machine, and run your builds/tests there.

hi Elias,
I remember trying to do this, but it turned out that script required to
launch tests (runtests.sh) is written in bash. However one could try to
launch it anyway using cygwin.
Script has some parts exclusively specific to Unix platform (like
starting the X session), but that should be easy to comment out. Then it
invokes PDEBuild ant scripts which should run perfectly fine on windows.
Curious, if that would work...

Quick question: can Athena run pde-junit tests on windows?
