No, it's not correct behavior.  On a non-native drag, you should be  
getting drag motion events recorded.  Please file a bug to that effect.

Does your application depend on event timing?  Abbot will generate a  
real event for each event listed in the script, so apparently your  
app is sensitive to the time elapsed between them.

If you run each in awt mode, they are less likely to conflict with  
each other, although they will still show up on your screen.  I've  
been thinking about swapping out the default toolkit with a testing  
one which provides fake peers, but that's a lot more work than I've  
got time for at the moment.

How long a script are you talking about?  or do you mean that it  
slows down the longer it is in recording mode?  Can you isolate or  
reproduce this with the MyCode example?

Less likely does not really sound safe, but I'll check it out.

Costello slows down the longer it is in recording mode. At least that is
my impression. A short script
Could be recorded easily, but adding some more functionality (beyond
logon) showed the editor gets
Increasingly slow. I will try to isolate a sample.

build error of abbot.swt

I followed the instruction found in this forum, created CVS repository, 
checked out the five projects abbot, abbot.swt, abbot.swt.gef, 
abbot.swt.hierarchy, org.eclipse.swt.patched
when I followed the instruction to update the classpath via PDE, I got 
error" can't nest abbot.swt/src", so I went to properties for abbot.swt, 
changed the source tab content, then the error goes away. then got another 
error, a class Step.java checked the value of boolean variable 
Log.expectDebugOutput, but this variable is not defined in Log.java, the 
solution is I commented out this piece of code. after all these, the build 
succeeded. should this be reported as a bug? Did anybody else run into the 
same problem?

How to run abbot within eclipse

complete guide to start abbot within eclipse (in case somebody got the same 
headache as I did)
1. create CVS repostery in eclipse
:pserver:anonymous <at> cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/abbot

no password needed
2. check out :
abbot
abbot.swt
abbot.swt.gef
abbot.swt.heirarchy
org.eclipse.swt.patched

3. select abbot, right click mouse, go to PDE tools->convert into ecliplse 
plugin, then select abbot again, right click mouse, build project

4. 1)select abbot.swt, go to menu item Project -> properties -> java build 
path -> source tab
remove the entry in this tab, then click add folder, type src as folder 
name, click Finish
2) select abbot.swt/plugin.xml, right click mouse, PDE tools -> update 
classpath
3) select abbot.swt, go to menu item Project -> properties -> java build 
path -> Libraries tab,
click Add Jars, in the popuped window, expand abbot, find jdom.jar, click 
Finish
4) select abbot.swt, right click, build project
5) if you have error now, the error might be in 
abbot.swt/src/abbot.script.swt/Step.java
find the error code segment, where Log.expectDebugOutput is checked, comment 
out this piece of code (should be a if statement)
6) clean the project and rebuild it

5. 1) hierarchy and patched are not eclipse plugin, so do the same to 
convert them into plugin as instructed in step 3
2) do the same thing as instructed in 4.1 and 4.2, then build the projects

6. then run the example test as instructed in 
abbot.swt/doc/swt/abbotforswtREADME.html

the above guide is based on the head revision of CVS sources I checked out 
on 05/03/2006. if the source code changes, some of the guide steps may not 
be applied, while it should give a clue where to look at when an error 
occurs.

Costello Recording speed

Hi,

I am experiencing the same problem with Costello recording speed and it 
happens all the time when I start to record a long sequence of steps (except 
trivial 2-3 steps scripts). The list of components in my xml script is long 
(370 elements). Can this slow down the recording speed?

Re: Costello Recording speed

It's possible that things are slowing down when attempting to match  
components against existing references, but it's hard to say without  
actually profiling the code.

how to launch Eclipse within Abbot?

I try to launch Eclipse within abbot costello editor. here is what I put in 
the launch fields:
Launch org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main([])

Target Class Name: org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main

Method: main

Arguments: []

classpath: startup.jar

Eclipse was launched successfully, but everything in script editor became 
freeze, i.e. all the menu items are greyed out, I can do nothing.

I installed abbot within eclipse, but want to try this way, is this 
possible?

Thanks
