PBGT - Pattern Based GUI Testing

Create new plug-in project.

Lets start by adding a new entry in the context menu that will allow the algorithm execution. To do this, in the plugin.xml file it is neccessary to add 3 extensions. The first is a command to be executed and shall be similar to:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
   <category
      name="Paradigm"
      description="Commands related to Paradigm diagrams."
      id="org.eclipse.gmf.category.Paradigm"/>
   <command
      categoryId="org.eclipse.gmf.category.Paradigm"
      description="Generate Test Script"
      id="paradigm.GenerateTestScript"
      name="Generate Test Script">
   </command>
</extension>

The second is an handler of the command and it will be similar to:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.handlers">
   <handler
      class="paradigm.diagram.scriptGenerator.GenerateTestScript"
      commandId="paradigm.GenerateTestScript">
   </handler>
</extension>

Note the class attribute that identifies the class to be executed when the command is executed.

Finally the third extension is the menu entry:

<extension
   id="generate.paths"
   point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
   <menuContribution
      locationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.popup.any?after=additions">
      <command
         commandId="paradigm.GenerateTestScript"
         label="Generate Test Script">
         <visibleWhen>
            <with variable="activeMenuSelection">
               <iterate>
                  <instanceof value="Paradigm.diagram.edit.parts.ModelEditPart"/>
               </iterate>
            </with>
         </visibleWhen>
      </command>
   </menuContribution>
</extension>

Next create the class referenced in the handler.

This class extends AbstractHandler and implements the execute method. In this method you may implement the new test script generation algorithm.
