I'm not sure how useful this may be but I've occasionally needed to make changes
to the test sources, and then re-run the sdk tests. I would basically just do a 
clean on the source directory then regenerate the jar file. Then I'd just copy 
over the jar to where the tests get installed. There's some small documentation
here : http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/Eclipse_Build/Tests
