[oXygen-user] Plugin testing.

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Anthony,

My suggestion to you would be to start in the test case the Oxygen main 
class:

ro.sync.exml.Oxygen

You can see in the "oxygen.bat" what classpath it uses.
Then you can poll the opened windows using something like:

Window.getWindows()

until the main Oxygen JFrame appears. For example look for the title of 
the opened windows.

Then once the Oxygen JFrame is obtained you can perform all kinds of 
visual tests on it by getting access to the JMenuBar for example, using 
an AWT Robot, etc.

I can try to prepare some sample Java code for this if you run into any 
difficulties.


Regards,
Radu
