Description Eugene Chan CLA 2007-01-11 11:37:26 EST 
In TPTP, various launch shortcuts and launch configurations are extended to support PROFILE mode launch.

JavaAppletLaunchShortcut
JavaApplicationLaunchShortcut
JUnitLaunchConfiguration
JUnitLaunchConfigurationDelegate

In launch shortcut, launch(), chooseType(), and chooseConfiguration() are override and customized for profile specified dialog attributes and profile required actions. Similar changes are also required on the LaunchConfiguration/Delegate.

I am attaching the TPTP classes which extend the JDT resource to support profile and explain the API requirement.

LauncherUtility

This is a utility class which contains inner classes that extends and calls methods of JUnitLaunchConfiguration and TestSearchResult which are under internal package. It also has inner class that extends JUnitLaunchConfigurationDelegate, and calls findTestTypes() in org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.launcher.JUnitBaseLaunchConfiguration and org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.launcher.LaunchPluginValidator.getPluginList()

Not planned for 3.3
Comment 5 amehrega CLA 2007-03-23 16:50:39 EDT 
Any plans of including this in the near future?
TPTP is removing the JUnit profiling functionality because of internal API usage.
Comment 6 Darin Wright CLA 2007-03-23 16:57:28 EDT 
There are no more API changes in 3.3 planned. The freeze is today (M6).
Comment 7 amehrega CLA 2007-03-23 18:35:07 EDT 
What do we need to do to get this enhancement on Eclipse's radar screen for next release?  This defect was opened a long time ago but very little attention has been paid to it.

It's unfortunately a critical functionality that we're removing from TPTP.
