What is SWTFinder

Is

SWTFinder is used to find swt control in eclipse views and editors.

Using this tool, you can automatically locate any control in eclipse view/editor. The API can be used in both UI thread and non-UI thread.

Is NOT

SWTFinder is just a control finder. Currenlty, it does not provide any function to drive UI actions. And I don't plan to provides such functionality in future version.

Contains

SWTFinder contains the following two parts:

• swtfinder core plug-in that provides the core java API
• swtfinder ui plug-in tool used to show the control layer of active eclipse part and automatically generate API to find a special control.

SWTFinder Usage

SWTFinder can be used to help eclipse developers write plug-in unit test.

SWTFinder can also be used together with the following tools(all these tools can drive UI actions):

• Abbot (SWT part)---open source
• Eclipse TPTP AGR---open source
• SWTBot ---open source
• WindowTester ---Commercial
