TPTeam: a collaborative testing application using Eclipse OSGi and XMPP chat protocol, embedded in Tomcat
The aim of TPTeam is to create an exemplary collaborative testing tool by using the Eclipse Equinox and Communication Framework (ECF) projects.This goal will be achieved by the development of three components:
- TPBuddy™, a rich GUI client that is an Eclipse IDE plug-in (bundle).
- TPBridge™, an event-driven bundle that bridges communication across JVMs. An Eclispe OSGi bundle.
- TPManager™, a test management bundle, part of an OSGi stack embedded in a Tomcat servlet container
All three components will utilize novel service-oriented architecture components derived from Equinox and distributed events to achieve collaborative unit testing. The proposed work represents a practical first step in utilizing newly available Eclipse open source projects for the creation of collaborative tools.

Ported the project source code from the now defunct Google code to GitHub. Google did not export over the project artifacts and automatically deleted the entire project immediatedly after export. Thanks Google! X(
Added the TPTeam Harvard Master's degree thesis to the downloads section. This thesis would be a good read for anyone interested in developing an Eclipse RCP app, connecting it to Hibenate, or embedding an Eclipse instance within a servlet container.
