How to automate testing of graphical (eclipse-based) desktop applications?

Question

I need to automate testing of desktop applications based on eclipse. Is it worthy ? If yes, what kind of tools can I use with some well known continuous integration tools ?

Answer 1

We use a commercial tool called WindowTester from instantiations. You can buy it together with WindowBuilder (UI designer) in the RCP Developer suite. It's really good and quite cheap in my opinion.
