  • SKILL.md covers Test Tools, PDE Harness Tests, Build Tools and Typical Workflow, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Eclipse Test is an agent skill from gradusnikov/eclipse-chatgpt-plugin. Run JUnit tests in Eclipse projects — all tests, by package, by class, or individual test methods. Also build Maven projects.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Unit testing. It works with JUnit, Model Context Protocol and Java. The repository describes itself as: Eclipse IDE as an MCP Server for AI Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Unit testing

Example prompts

  • “/eclipse-test”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__eclipse-ide__runAllTests, mcp__eclipse-ide__runPackageTests, mcp__eclipse-ide__runClassTests, mcp__eclipse-ide__runTestMethod, mcp__eclipse-ide__findTestClasses, mcp__eclipse-ide__runMavenBuild, mcp__eclipse-ide__getConsoleOutput, mcp__eclipse-ide__getEffectivePom, mcp__eclipse-ide__listMavenProjects, mcp__eclipse-ide__getProjectDependencies, mcp__eclipse-ide__getCompilationErrors, mcp__eclipse-pde__runJUnitPluginTests, mcp__eclipse-pde__runJUnitPluginTestClass, mcp__eclipse-pde__runJUnitPluginTestClasses, mcp__eclipse-pde__getActiveTarget, mcp__eclipse-pde__reloadTarget

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Find test classes
  2. Run specific test after code change
  3. Run all tests before committing
  4. Build with Maven
  5. Check build output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b789344. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • mcp__eclipse-ide__runAllTests
    • mcp__eclipse-ide__runPackageTests
    • mcp__eclipse-ide__runClassTests
    • mcp__eclipse-ide__runTestMethod
    • mcp__eclipse-ide__findTestClasses
    • mcp__eclipse-ide__runMavenBuild
    • mcp__eclipse-ide__getConsoleOutput
    • mcp__eclipse-ide__getEffectivePom
    • mcp__eclipse-ide__listMavenProjects
    • mcp__eclipse-ide__getProjectDependencies

    …and 6 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Eclipse Test loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Run Tests & Build in Eclipse

Execute JUnit tests and Maven builds using Eclipse's built-in infrastructure.

Test Tools

  • runAllTests — Run all tests in a project. Provide projectName and optional timeout (default: 60s).
  • runPackageTests — Run tests in a specific package. Provide projectName and packageName.
  • runClassTests — Run all tests in a specific test class. Provide projectName and className (fully qualified).
  • runTestMethod — Run a single test method. Provide projectName, className, and methodName.
  • findTestClasses — Find and classify tests as plain JUnit or PDE harness tests. PDE tests must use the *PDETest.java naming convention; likely harness-dependent misnamed tests are reported as warnings.

PDE Harness Tests

  • runJUnitPluginTests — Run all plug-in tests in the PDE harness. Use for the classes listed under PDE harness tests (*PDETest).
  • runJUnitPluginTestClass — Run one fully qualified *PDETest class.
  • runJUnitPluginTestClasses — Run a comma-separated set of fully qualified *PDETest classes in one PDE launch. Prefer it after a change touches several harness tests because Eclipse workbench startup is paid only once. The initial batch tool does not provide coverage; use the single-class or whole-project tools when coverage is required.
  • getActiveTarget / reloadTarget — Inspect or refresh the target platform when plug-in dependencies cannot resolve.
  • Keep ordinary unit tests named *Test.java; any test using Eclipse workspace, JDT, UI, platform, or OSGi runtime services must be named *PDETest.java so discovery routes it to the PDE harness.

Build Tools

  • runMavenBuild — Run Maven the way Run As > Maven build does. Provide projectName and goals written exactly as after mvn (e.g., clean install -DskipTests -pl module); optional profiles, properties, pomDirectory, offline, skipTests, and timeout (seconds to wait before an operationId is returned). The result carries the exit code, every [ERROR] line and the tail of the log; the full log is in the console named launchName.
  • getEffectivePom — Get the effective POM for a Maven project.
  • listMavenProjects — List all Maven projects in the workspace.
  • getProjectDependencies — Get Maven dependencies for a project.

Typical Workflow

  1. Find test classes:

    findTestClasses(projectName="myapp")
  2. Run specific test after code change:

    runClassTests(projectName="myapp", className="com.example.MyServiceTest", timeout="60")
  3. Run all tests before committing:

    runAllTests(projectName="myapp", timeout="120")
  4. Build with Maven:

    runMavenBuild(projectName="myapp", goals="clean verify -DskipTests", timeout="300")
  5. Check build output:

    getConsoleOutput()

Notes

  • Tests run using JUnit 5 by default
  • Run plain tests with runClassTests/runAllTests; run *PDETest classes with the eclipse-pde harness tools
  • Test results include pass/fail status, execution time, and failure traces
  • Use getCompilationErrors first to ensure code compiles before running tests
  • Maven build output goes to the Eclipse console — use getConsoleOutput to retrieve it

Can I use Eclipse Test in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add gradusnikov/eclipse-chatgpt-plugin --skill eclipse-test -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/eclipse-test, .gemini/skills/eclipse-test, .github/skills/eclipse-test and .opencode/skills/eclipse-test in your project.

What does Eclipse Test need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Eclipse Test is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: mcp__eclipse-ide__runAllTests, mcp__eclipse-ide__runPackageTests, mcp__eclipse-ide__runClassTests, mcp__eclipse-ide__runTestMethod, mcp__eclipse-ide__findTestClasses, mcp__eclipse-ide__runMavenBuild, mcp__eclipse-ide__getConsoleOutput, mcp__eclipse-ide__getEffectivePom, mcp__eclipse-ide__listMavenProjects, mcp__eclipse-ide__getProjectDependencies, mcp__eclipse-ide__getCompilationErrors, mcp__eclipse-pde__runJUnitPluginTests, mcp__eclipse-pde__runJUnitPluginTestClass, mcp__eclipse-pde__runJUnitPluginTestClasses, mcp__eclipse-pde__getActiveTarget, mcp__eclipse-pde__reloadTarget.
