We have an Eclipse plugin and are using maven tycho to build it. I've now created a seperate project with unit tests and run those in the integration-test phase while building the plugin - all good. But to properly test the plugin it has to be used in a special workspace in the eclipse instance.
I don't know how I can change the workspace or prevent the workspace from gettin cleaned each time the integration-test phase begins. Currently a new workspace is created under project/target/work/data right before the test starts.
I tried to copy the workspace that I want to use in the pre-integration-test phase and even in the integration-test phase itself, but it is still cleared as soon as the actual test starts. How can I prevent the cleaning of the workspace for my plugin tests?
