This is probably way more work than it's worth, but I'll write it down
anyway.  Is there any way to get the progress bar in the plugin to stretch
to the width of the panel?  To me, it always looks like it's still running
because the bar only goes part of the way across the screen.

While it's running, it's obvious that the bar has not been filled up
because you can see the hollow portion, but when it's done, it's not nearly
as obvious.

sure, it'd be possible if i weren't such an eclipse SWT suckass poser.

you'd think this would be really simple: add a resize listener to the widget and then
do a resize when the listener fires.  but i messed with this for hours (i'm not
shitting you), and i couldn't get the listener to fire. What this tells me, then, is
that i just don't know what the F i'm doing.

ok, maybe a simple workaround.  How about the % done to the left of the bar or even
just the word "Done" shows up when completed.  Again, note that priority = low.

and see, i thought that the visual cues of the "play" buttons being grayed when it's
running, and the "stop" button being red only when the tests are running, was enough.

some people are never satisfied.

maybe you'd like me to have little dancing pixies come out when your tests are
finished, in a flourish, tooting their little pixie horns, singing you songs of
praise and joy. 

"oh mikey mikey, your tests are now done.
hey nonny nonny, your tests are now run"

jeeeeeeeesh.

I like it.  I can hardly wait to listen to it a hundred times a day.  You could have
one pixie for each test that ran wearing a green, blue or red pixie outfit depending
on the result.  If they are all green, they smoke cigars and drink grog.  I think
this is a priority-High now.

mike, i'll have a version of the plugin out sometime this weekend that has your
douchey progress bar enhancement. 

dude, if i knew how to make dancing pixies float around, i would. cause that'd be so
funny. until it got old. but still....

thanks for prompting me to take this up again.
