Thread-topic: [wtp-dev] Looking for committerwith an interest in server-side unit testing and a big heart

Yeah, basically, the enhancement request is all there is. Not very well documented, admittedly. I would be happy to document it better and include a road-map for where it could go in the future, and why it is a good idea.

I think I managed to eliminate all the internal server methods with the latest version. I have not yet managed to eliminate some dependencies on org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.*, which, of course, I would very much like to do. I think it might be doable by basically re-creating the junit launch configuration as a CactusLaunchConfugration, but I am not totally sure.

I am certainly committed to the idea of working on TPTP integration although I am honestly not yet sure what that will look like. It certainly seems to be worth exploring in greater depth.

I would also be happy to do more detailed HOW-TO for it.

All that said, are we still mulling over whether this should be part of WTP proper or a separate download? I would, of course, prefer the former, even if it isn’t right away, but it isn’t a strong preference. I am much more concerned in making it available for people to use and improve, however that happens.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to talk about this. I hope we can get this out there and that it is useful to people.

Thanks to Arthur and Tim and others for continuing my education :)
The JUnit and Ant analogies really helped.

Dan, I take it the current enhancement request
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=90003
is *the* source of documentation on this request?
Problem statement, how to solve problem, etc.?
(You may, eventually, want to enhance it with some of the
information from this thread of discussion, so it will be
clear to others who read about its "purpose" and "importance").

And, judging from that enhancement request, it is all currently
a seperate plugin, but requires some use of server "internal" methods?
(Anything look like it could not be "evolved" post 1.0 to support without
using internal methods? Guess that's Tim's call.)

It also sounds like, from that feature request, you'll continue working with
TPTP for "fuller" integration from their end (in the future)?

This all sounds like goodness to me.

One small suggestion, for
future but prior to release/milestone, assuming all this continues for
R1, is you might want to create a
little "mini-tutorial" for wtp web on "how to use". (Similar to your
current readme, but using typical HTMLish content, with screen shots, if appropriate).

Thanks all,
