General Package Tests

Before starting Eclipse

• eclipse.ini: correct memory settings, any updates necessary?
  • Mac OSX: eclipse.ini in the correct place? eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini
• configuration/config.ini: correct product (eclipse.product)?
• plugins/org.eclipse.epp.package.PACKAGENAME_*/plugin_customization.ini: correct default perspective (org.eclipse.ui/defaultPerspectiveId)?
• linux-packages: executable bits set on eclipse?

Running Eclipse

• Start the package with eclipse -consoleLog and watch the console for error messages.
• Try to start the package with a wrong JVM version, e.g. 1.4 or GCJ - does it tell the user about the minimum required Java version?
• Does the package start with the correct perspective? (defined in the plugin_customization.ini of the branding plugin)
• Does it contain all necessary features?
  • Are there any errors in the p2 dialogs?
• If the package contains the PDE feature:
  • Does any plugin view show any errors?
  • Bundles that cannot be started?
• About Dialog:
  • Does it show up with the correct version and build ID?
  • Any suspicious entries in 'Feature Details' or 'Plug-in Details'?
  • 'Configuration Details' - is the JVM running with the correct settings?
• Open the Preferences dialog. Does it show any suspicious entries?
• Create a new project and test it.
• Start the Eclipse Help. Does it contain the necessary help content?
• Try to install something on top of the package with p2 from the Galileo repository and check that Eclipse can be restarted.
• Use an older EPP package and try if it is possible to upgrade this with the new versions from the repositories
