[jbosstools-dev] JBDS Testing

[Andrej Podhradsky]

Hi all,

I have a few questions about how is (how should be) JBDS tested. We won't discuss how to run swt bot tests manually.
So, the only way how to run bot tests against JBDS is using maven with setting jbds target platform. But how does it work?
The maven downloads some base of eclipse/jbds and installs appropriate plugins/features into that. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Is this way sufficient? Wouldn't be better to run tests against JBDS installation?
Could someone tell me if It is possible to run tests against local installation using tycho, please? 

Nevertheless, I think it's not good to have any mention of JBDS at http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools.
I can imagine that all tools/scripts related to JBDS testing will be only at https://svn.jboss.org/repos/devstudio/trunk/qa.

I have also read discussion about where to place scripts for downloading EAP, SOA-P, etc...
For this there is a project called "lepromo" created by SOA-P QE team (http://git.app.eng.bos.redhat.com/?p=jbossqe/lepromo.git;a=summary)

I will appreciate each help/comment how to test JBDS ;-)

Best Regards
