Krishantha, I've gone through the Robot Framework but I'm afraid that the comprehensive widget support for SWT and GMF is less and it's at its initial stages.
As you have mentioned the Robot Framework provides and External Eclipse Library [1] [2], which is based on the SWTBot and it's seems to be a better framework in terms of less manual work once setup, compared to using the SWTBot directly. But under the 'Eclipse Library Limitations' section [3] it's been stated that only the simple and basic SWT widgets are supported for the time being. As the ESB plugin requires GMF Editor Testing, still I'm not completely sure on to what extent the SWTBot itself supports GMF. It seems to be supporting GEF and few popular blog articles state that via the extended GEF support it supports GMF as well. Thus it could be a limitation as well even when the SWTBot itself is used. Thus adding an additional wrapper on top of the SWTBot (the Robot Framework), could be a nightmare when it comes to the major concern, 'the range of supported widgets'. Anyway, I'll be considering and would try to incorporate the Robot Framework once I get more control and understanding of this project and thank you for this valuable suggestion.
