Thank you all very much for your welcoming words!

With respect to the unit test there is probably something missing at the moment for these cases:

1. Tests which use servers which are only available on the intranet. The main case here I am thinking of is a proxy server. For example currently URLRetrieveTestProxy will fallback to test the same as tests provided by class URLRetrieveTest when the related system properties for providing the proxy information are not set. It would probably be better to run this test only when the proxy settings are set up and make it fail otherwise.

2. In the context of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=263613 I work on introducing a new event (currently called) IFileTransferConnectStartEvent. Current thinking is that not all file transfer providers would be required to fire this event. This would make the associated test only useful for providers that do support this event. In essence the test would only be applicable to some providers.
One possible solution would be to have test bundles for each file transfer provider which can then establish all tests applicable to that provider.

Regular test bundles only need to be added to
org.eclipse.ecf.tests_feature to be deployed on the test machine.
PluginBuilder will find all JUnit tests on the classpath automatically.
Bottom line, if the support test bundles contain JUnit tests, they will
be executed once added to tests_feature. If that isn't acceptable, we
would have to tell PluginBuilder (via a regexp) to exclude them.

Hi Henrich, good to have you on the team.
