SWTBot Community Support
How to ask a good question
To increase chances of getting quickly efficient answers to you question, ensure that the question you are asking has:
- Adequate context for others reading your question. Why you're trying to do something. What you're doing in order to achieve.
- Adequate information of what you've tried out so far. I've tried to do foo, then tried bar, but that did not work either, so I'm asking for support here. See Asking Questions The Smart Way
- Version numbers of Eclipse, available in "Help>About"
- Version number of SWTBot, available in "Help>About>Plug-in Details"
