List of bug fixes and enhancements in 0.16.0

New and Noteworthy

New Features

  • Support for parallel test execution with JUnit >= 4.7 has been added.
    If you use Junit >= 4.7, you can run classes or methods in parallel by adding -Dparallel=classes|methods on the commandline or by configuring
    <plugin>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
    <artifactId>tycho-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${tycho-version}</version>
    <configuration>
    <parallel>classes|methods</parallel>
    </configuration>
    </plugin>
    Executing tests in parallel can be useful e.g. if you have long-running integration tests which are not CPU-bound.
    Under the hood, this feature was enabled by porting the parallel features of the junit4.7 surefire provider to tycho
  • Support for test frameworks is extensible now. This means you can add support for test frameworks other than JUnit if you provide an implementation of TestFrameworkProvider
