Sometimes it is helpful to step though the Abbot and Abbot for SWT code to figure out what it is expecting. In order to do this, you will need to get the source code and import it into Eclipse. Abbot for SWT has been split out to its own project. It looks like our code uses a specific level of abbot and abbot.swt code: 200800305_1254. The instructions did say trunk, but I upgraded them to reflect this level used.

1. svn co -r669 https://abbotforswt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/abbotforswt/abbot.swt/trunk/^{Image Removed} c:\abbot
2. Create folder c:\abbot\abbot.plain (must be named abbot.plain)
3. svn co -r2689 https://abbot.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/abbot/abbot/trunk^{Image Removed} c:\abbot\abbot.plain
4. In c:\abbot\abbot.plain, call "ant"
5. In c:\abbot\abbot.swt, call "ant -f setup.xml" to create the c:\abbot\abbot.swt\lib\abbot.jar
6. Copy from C:\abbot\abbot.plain\lib\ to C:\abbot\abbot.swt\lib\ the following jars: bsh-2.0b4.jar, gnu-regexp-1.1.0.jar, jdom-1.0.jar, xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar, xml-apis.jar
7. Download MRJToolKitStubs.zip from http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/MRJToolkitStubs/index.html^{Image Removed} into C:\abbot\abbot.swt\lib\. That link did not work. Try http://testng-abbot.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/testng-abbot/lib/main/MRJToolkitStubs.zip^{Image Removed}. (Use View raw file link in File info section at lower right if needed.) This jar is also contained in abbot.swt-0.1.0.20080305_1254.zip, available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/abbot/files/, under abbot.swt, 0.1.0.20080305_1254.
8. To make sure that the source you debug with matches the source in the abbot.jar, copy the code from abbot.swt.0.1.0.200800305_1254 src.zip (can also be found in the downloadable version of abbot.swt from sourceforge.net in http://sourceforge.net/projects/abbot/files/^{Image Removed}, under abbot.swt.) into c:\abbot\abbot.swt\src directory. It looks like the abbot.swt "ant -f setup.xml" build puts abbotsrc.zip in abbot.swt\lib, so I extracted that one.
9. Import abbot.swt project into eclipse
10. Ensure that all the .jars and the .zip from above are on the LIbraries path and the Order and Export Page
    1. Add C:\eclipse\abbot\abbot.plain\lib\ant4eclipse\ant4eclipse.jar
11. In the MANIFEST.MF, add all available packages to the Exported Packages list. For the classpath, remove the "." library. Also add a new AbbotSWTplugin.jar and the jars and zip from above.

    Warning
    I have not gotten this to work. When I import the Abbot code into Eclipse, I get compiler errors. I have not found the precise level of Abbot SWT used in the GEP testsuite code. Ultimately, we should upgrade our GEP testsuite code to the latest Abbot level, which of this writing was Jan 26 2009 for Abbot, and Apr 08 2009 for Abbot SWT.
