I have a JFace editor that is mostly made up of a TreeViewer. This is hooked up to a ContentOutlinePage to bring the Outline view to life.

Hi! I am developing an Eclipse plugin and have tests for it. Some are regular JUnit tests, some are PDE tests (i.e. require starting an eclipse instance to be able to access eclipse internals).
