The source code of the SWTBot project can be found in a eclipse.org Subversion repository:
+
You can use a git mirror of that repository:
  
{{codeblock|svn co http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/org.eclipse.swtbot/trunk/}}
+
{{codeblock|git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/swtbot/org.eclipse.swtbot.git}}
  
Alternatively, you can use a git mirror of that repository:

You can also browse the repository using [https://git.eclipse.org/c/swtbot/org.eclipse.swtbot.git/ a web interface] or even by monitoring the [https://github.com/eclipse/swtbot mirror of the repository on GitHub].

== IDE tips ==
 +
=== Recommended Eclipse plugins ===
 +
It's advised that you use the following plugins in Eclipse:
 +
* EGit
 +
* FindBugs (with a high "Minimum rank to report" set in ''Window > Preferences > Java > Findbugs'')
 +
* Configure JDT in "pedantic" mode: from ''Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler > Errors/Warning'' make all violations send a warning, ignore nothing.
 +
* EclEmma is useful to analyze Coverage Reports
 +
* ... Any other tool that makes you write better code faster ...
 +
 
 +
=== Target Platforms ===
 +
 
 +
You can find some ready-to-use target platforms for development in the ''devtools/target-platforms'' folder. Each target-platform basically target a version of the Eclipse release train. It's recommended to use one of these target-platform since it contains all SWTBot dependencie. These target-platforms are also used at build time, so your dependencies in IDE will be consistent with dependencies during build.  Enable the selected target-platform by opening it in IDE with the target definition editor, and click ''Set As Target Platform''.

Getting the source

You can use a git mirror of that repository:

git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/swtbot/org.eclipse.swtbot.git

You can also browse the repository using a web interface or even by monitoring the mirror of the repository on GitHub.

To contribute changes to the website, use this git repo: https://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/swtbot.git

IDE tips

Recommended Eclipse plugins

It's advised that you use the following plugins in Eclipse:

  • EGit
  • FindBugs (with a high "Minimum rank to report" set in Window > Preferences > Java > Findbugs)
  • Configure JDT in "pedantic" mode: from Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler > Errors/Warning make all violations send a warning, ignore nothing.
  • EclEmma is useful to analyze Coverage Reports
  • ... Any other tool that makes you write better code faster ...

Target Platforms

You can find some ready-to-use target platforms for development in the devtools/target-platforms folder. Each target-platform basically target a version of the Eclipse release train. It's recommended to use one of these target-platform since it contains all SWTBot dependencie. These target-platforms are also used at build time, so your dependencies in IDE will be consistent with dependencies during build. Enable the selected target-platform by opening it in IDE with the target definition editor, and click Set As Target Platform.

In case something is not working well, please report them as a bug.

Building SWTBot

  1. First Get the sources, as explained a few lines above.
  2. then mvn clean verify
  3. That's all!

NOTE: default build performs against Eclipse Indigo. You can test and build against Juno instead by activatin the "juno" profile: mvn clean verify -P juno, and for Kepler, run mvn clean verify -P kepler.

Continuous integration
