Anyone know what newsgroup would be appropriate for PDE/JUnit questions? I
don't see a PDE newsgroup, period.

This is a good start if there is no specialized Newsgroup available.

Well, I was hoping someone would know of a good source of documentation
(formal or informal) on writing JUnit tests for Eclipse plugins. I've seen
adequate info on using JUnit itself (to test, say, a standard Java
application developed with Eclipse JDT), and I've even found a good
article on how to invoke a JUnit test phase as part of a build process.
But I can't find anything that describes how to actually go about writing
a JUnit test suite for an Eclipse plugin. It seems the only thing I can go
on are existing tests suites--examine and disect those and figure out how
to write tests for my own plugins. I was just hoping there was a less
painful approach.

They really aren't any different other than you launch using the JUnit
Plugin Test launch configuration instead of the standard JUnit Test
launch configuration.
