SWTBot does not depend on any eclipse plugins other than org.eclipse.ui (which is just swt/jface and other basic stuff) and junit. As I've already mentioned the only plugin that has a dependency on anything else is the plugin that contains the launcher (net.sf.swtbot.eclipse.ui). To get around this, have you considered using eclipse 3.4 for development and using a 3.2 target platform ? > Concerning patches for making it compatible with Eclipse 3.2: This > could be hard stuff.

Feel free to create a net.sf.swtbot.eclipse.ui-32 for eclipse 3.2, we can have the two plugins live in the same eclipse instance, and have the 3.2 load up if the eclipse version is 3.2 and 3.3 if the eclipse version is 3.3/3.4! > Do you know the commercial tools which can also test SWT/RCP, like > Froglogic Squish and QFTest?
