Hi!

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, please point me right if it
isn't.

I am in a need to integrate other testing frameworks in Eclipse, and
instead of trying to take the boring road of writing an interface to each
of them, I thought I'd try to do something like this:

- define an API to let test frameworks describe themselves
- using this data, for each suite and test generate automatically Java
test classes that delegate to the real tests (using a different generic
API)
- let JUnit run on these test classes
- have another set of API to navigate to a test's source code

To my questions:
- does anybody know of a plugin that does that? The closest match that I
found is the Cactus plugin, but it only handles different application
servers.
- is this the right place to ask questions, if I start on this path?
- is this feasible at all? It looks like it to me, but there might be many
things that I am missing...

best regards,
Vlad

Sorry for the noise, I realized my questions should have been asked on the
junit lists.

regards,
