Running SWTBot tests as part of your maven/tycho build cycle is rather well documented and pretty straight forward (see for example the sonatype docs). Doing so with a WindowTester Pro recorded test is not - but then again it is pretty straigt forward as well.

There are just two things that you need to change from the SWTBot tests pom.xml (as presented in the sonatype docs):

  • have useUIThread = true
  • add a dependecy to com.windowtester.runtime.feature.group to pull in platform specific plugins

You will also need to tell maven/tycho where to find the latter feature, of course, by adding
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/windowtester/beta/3.7 to your
repositories.

A sample pom.xml looks like this:
