Test automation of Aptana (Eclipse) GUI

Question

Hi,

I m looking for a tool able to automate tests for Aptana Studio's GUI. Google was not too helpful in this case.

Thanks,

You are looking to automate the SWT GUI (SWT is the UI foundations of Eclipse). Google the term "SWT test automation" and see what comes up.

I know companies that use QF Test. It is an expensive option, but I know that it works well. Another option is to use SWT Bot which is free.

Last week I also came across this very very cool project that can automate pretty much any UI called Sikuli. It is not geared so much towards testing, though.
