Considering separate UI part and the core part?

Hi team,

Thank you for providing such a great plugin to support TestNG in Eclipse!

We have an extension in VS Code to support different Java Test Framework like JUnit 4, 5 and TestNG. For the current implementation, We leverage the Eclipse JUnit launcher to resolve the launch configuration and use its Remote Runner to run the JUnit tests.

For the TestNG part, I implemented a simple runner, so the feature supported is very limited. I think the situation can become much better if I can use the components in this repo, but finally I find that I cannot do that. Because the current implementation requires some jdt.ui bundles, which cannot be resolved by the Eclipse JDT LS - the Java Language Server of the VS Code. It will be great if the code can separate the core part from the ui part.

This might be a huge refactoring work, so I'm just asking if there is any possibility to put this into your roadmap?

Thanks.

hi @jdneo , thanks for building the extension for VS-Code, i'm big fan of it.
regards to refactoring UI and core, it's surely doable, however personally i don't have the bandwidth on it, the plugin is in light maintenance state... except anybody in the community willing to contribute, that will be great.

Hi @missedone,

I totally understand that. Hope we can find some volunteers for this. 😄.

Thanks.
