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

Test Shared Installs

On some OSes (traditionally Linux, but installing into Windows 7 "Programs" is similar) it is expected to be able to install Eclipse as administrator and then be used by several users, where each user can make their own additions, preferences, projects, etc. For some history that emphasizes the importance of testing shared installs, see bug 322929.

  • In addition to the normal "single user" tests above, install the package as "root" (or Administrator) and then, as a regular "user", repeat many of the single users tests: install additional features from site repository, set your own preferences, create projects, etc.

Individual Package Tests

Automotive Package

  • Xtext
    • Install the Xtext SDK from the Eclispe Release Staging Update Site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging/). This is necessary because the package contains as it should only the runtime plug-ins but no sources and no examples.

    • Import the 'Domain-Model' Example projects and see if everything is ok (e.g., try code completion and verify if errors are reported when typos occurs).
  • CDT

  • In Data Explorer view, right click on Data Sets, select "New Data Set". Select "Data Source" (the name of the data source created in previous step), select "Next>". In the next dialog, type in "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS" in the query text editor. Select "Finish"
    • Does the subsequent dialog show 13 columns under the "Output Columns" tab? Select OK to close the dialog.
