Some snippets for working with SWTBot
Installing/Updating on the command line
Here is a little bash script to help manage SWTBot's version on the command line. Useful for managing an Eclipse installation used for Continuous Integration. It is by no means perfect and you will need to set the proper version for the equinox launcher and the swtbot repository (ganymede, galileo or helios). Feel free to modify to fit your needs.
# Uninstall the feature. java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar \ -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director \ -uninstallIU org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.gef.feature.group,org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.test.junit4.feature.group \ -consoleLog -nosplash # (Re)Install the feature.

Switch perspective
This allows you to switch perspectives in eclipse from within the Window>Open Perspective>Other... menu.
// Change the perspective via the Open Perspective dialog bot.menu("Window").menu("Open Perspective").menu("Other...").click(); SWTBotShell openPerspectiveShell = bot.shell("Open Perspective"); openPerspectiveShell.activate(); // select the dialog bot.table().select("Debug"); bot.button("OK").click();
