How to effectively test JUnit plug-ins Eclipse RCP

Question

We have a rather large RCP Eclipse application and are not sure how to test its plugins correctly.

• For each plugin there is a test fragment containing Unit tests.
• For small tests that do not require the launch of the RCP platform, we simply call the "standard" JUnit test runner.

• For tests that require the RCP platform, it is possible to test it using the JUnit test runner.

• For JUnit plugin tests, you can determine which plugins load when the RCP platform starts.

• Problem . Running JUnit Plugin tests requires a lot of time (seconds instead of milliseconds for a simple JUnit test) and resources, since the RCP platform and all plugins must be launched.
