Peter,
Don't go away feeling all hope is lost. You can still try to make the
standalone SWT app a full eclipse one, for the purpose of testing it.
1. copy the plugins file and folders from your standalone app.
2. paste them into an AGR eclipse installation plugins folder
3. record and playback as if it were just an eclipse plugin.
4. et voila
Sure, This isn't testing the real thing, but it's probably close enough
to automate a large portion of your test cases, as long as you keep
doing some basic manual testing on the 'real' standalone app, to be on
the safe side.
Also, once my scripts are done, I release them onto a nightly build and
test environment, where I have also overwriten the AGR eclipse
configuration folder with the one from our standalone app, and they
still run fine.
The effect is to be a little closer to the 'real' standalone app, and it
has the exact look and feel of it, which is nice for demos to management ;-)
(PS. I'm not sure this will work for all standalone apps, I don't know
eclipse and AGR well enough for that, but it's worth a try)
