I'm baffled by this. I don't know enough about Tex or TeXlipse to
understand why you think this would be a helpful test of the
interface.
I'm not even sure how it would apply to the Tex world. As far as I can
see, it's like asking for an implementation of anchor links in
TeXlipse.
Might you elaborate on why this would be a better proof of concept
than
a Firefox extension?
My point was that BibTeX/LaTeX/TeXlipse users are already receptive
to the idea that they have to provide rich metadata for citations, so
a UI test would not be a matter of testing *if* they provide the data
but about *how* they like to provide it.
