Hi Anthony, My suggestion to you would be to start in the test case the Oxygen main class: ro.sync.exml.Oxygen You can see in the "oxygen.bat" what classpath it uses. Then you can poll the opened windows using something like: Window.getWindows() until the main Oxygen JFrame appears. For example look for the title of the opened windows. Then once the Oxygen JFrame is obtained you can perform all kinds of visual tests on it by getting access to the JMenuBar for example, using an AWT Robot, etc. I can try to prepare some sample Java code for this if you run into any difficulties.

Our plugin is now nearing 'feature' completion, and I am in the process of automating the manual testing. This is reasonably straightforward for those aspects of the plugin that are independent of the oXygen API, as these can be run through our TestNG framework. I was wondering if anybody had some suggestions for how to automate tests involving the use of the oXygen API (and GUI components). For example is there a mechanism to simulate the selection of windows, menu items, button presses, etc in oXygen, that could be provided as an argument to a command-line invocation?
Any suggestions welcome.
Regards, Anthony.
