e4 on JavaFX and JemmyFX


Upon request on the e(fx)clipse forum I’ve invested time for upcoming e(fx)clipse release to allow JUnit-Testing e4 JavaFX applications using Jemmy and JemmyFX.

The thing that took most of my time was to understand how Jemmy works and can be started in an OSGi-Env (on MacOS-X it is even harder because there the Jemmy-Robot is executed in a Sub-Process) but I’ve managed to get everything up and running.

After having managed to get everything up and running I’ve spend yesterdays night to add a tooling wizards to bootstrap a Jemmy Test Suite and today I recorded a video

Next on my Jemmy list is to provide a Classpath-Library so that none e4, none OSGi-User can write Jemmy-Tests for their applications as easy as those OSGi lunatics can do with the next nightly build.

Once this is done – I should maybe take a look at http://jnario.org/ and if it make writing JUnit-Tests for FX application easier. So many things to explore and work on 😉

    Good stuff.

    FYI, there is Any() lookup criteria which returns true

    Hi, I tried your tutorial but i’ve problems.
    For the first example I haven’t the option “javaFX Eclipse 4 Application” on my wizard;
    for the second, in my jemmy project i haven’t the Plug-in dependecies in the classpath and my example doesn’t work.
    1. Do you know some solutions?
    2. It’s possible to make an OSGi project with JavaFX using Apache Felix?

    I work with ubuntu 12.04, Eclipse 4.2, e(fx)clipse 0.1.1, JDK7u7

    Thanks very much.
