Wow. And I thought I had tried some weird things. This is ... interesting. But
weird.
I suspect that the problem in this chain is junit. How junit sets up its
classpath can be a bother. But then I do not run junit tests from eclipse. I
run them from ant. Or I invoke the tests directly in my woa.
It may seem strange but I suspect you would have more luck with starting with a
java command-line invocation that launches you WOA. I assume your tests are
trying to launch that so that they can be clients of the app, yes? So, can your
tests access the WOA when it is launched on the command-line?
You can, within java, construct an exec call which invokes java. You can,
within java, construct an exec call which invokes java which launched your WOA.
You will have more control of the setup of the wo app if you launch it that
way. Then, can you have your junit test run the code that launches your woa?
This could work, no? Now you are making me wonder if I can do this from ant for
Project Wonder testing....
