Re: [swtbot-dev] Build only against only one specific version of JUnit and ship it.

[Mickael Istria]

The SWTBot bundle that causes complexity is org.eclipse.swtbot.junit_4.x, which has several versions of the same class according on the version of JUnit: 4.3 or 4.5. If I understand correctly, the issue with jdt.junit is the one that causes trouble when moving from JUnit 3.8 to JUnit 4.x (See [1]). This is not a blocking point for choosing definitely a version of JUnit 4 in SWTBot. Are we speaking about the same issue with jdt.junit? If no, could you provide me some more documentation on this topic? By the way a started a Git branch for my experiences with SWTBot (inverting dependencies to avoid these headaches with JUnit and Eclipse versions, and start building with Tycho). It is available at [2], but since I am not at all familiar nor easy with Git, and since I want to change everything in the same time, it may be a little messy... But feel free to comment it if you have time.

I don't understand *why*. This adds much more complexity than value to the project, whereas SWTBot could simply be built against a specific version of JUnit, and ship with it. Am I missing a technical issue that explains this choice? Older versions of eclipse don't work with newer versions of junit. Dropping in a new junit bundle breaks jdt.junit bundle that is essential to run any junit/pde-junit/swtbot tests. The only other way (that I know of) to support this is to branch out but I'm not sure I have the capacity to manage 3 branches and ensuring that that patch sets are applied to all three branches. I'm open to other ideas to solving this problem. - Ketan studios.thoughtworks.com | twitter.com/ketanpkr _______________________________________________ swtbot-dev mailing list swtbot-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/swtbot-dev -- Mickael Istria R&D Engineer email : mickael.ist...@bonitasoft.com This message and any attachment (the "message") is intended solely for the addressees and is confidential.
