Although Java projects and Java plug-in projects both use Java and JUnit to execute, plug-ins typically need to have access to them (provided by the runtime platform), which is only available if running in an OSGi or Eclipse environment.
Create a new plug-in project called
com.packtpub.e4.junit.plugin.Create a new JUnit test called
PlatformTestin thecom.packtpub.e4.junit.pluginpackage.Create a method called
testPlatform(), which asserts that thePlatformis running:@Test public void test() { assertTrue(Platform.isRunning()); }Click on the quick-fix to add

org.eclipse.core.runtimeis also added as a dependency.
Run the test by right-clicking on the project and going to Run As | JUnit Test. You will see the error...
