I've seen a similar post previous and it was suggested that the target
platform did not contain
org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.core_2.0.0.204-dev.jar. Mine does.

I also saw that the final fix was to set the execution environment to java
1.6, however mine is already 1.6. Anyone have any ideas?

I had such an error too when I automated SWTBot build & test.

But now I don't know anymore what the reason was for that error.

Maybe this approach helps you to discover the reason, if it works running
from Eclipse, but not from command-line:

Run the test in debug mode in Eclipse and set a breakpoint very early. In
the debug perspective there is a debug view which shows the process. Right
click on it and select "Properties" from the context menu. Then you see
the start command including all the parameters. Compare it against the
ones you use.

If the problem occurs in Eclipse, then I suggest to download SWTBot from
its repository: svn co
http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/org.eclipse.swtbot /trunk swtbot
Follow /swtbot/org.eclipse.swtbot.releng/readme.txt to materialize
workspace and set your target platform to that workspace. Then run
"org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.finder.test" as "SWTBot Test". This should
work. Compare now the working instance with the one which throws the
error, to find why it occurs.

When this is fixed, it normally does not trouble ever again (my
experience).

Probably you do not have org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.core in the target
eclipse.
