import org.jboss.reddeer.eclipse.ui.views.markers.ProblemsView;
import org.jboss.reddeer.eclipse.ui.views.markers.ProblemsView.ProblemType;
import org.jboss.reddeer.junit.runner.RedDeerSuite;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

/**

 */
@RunWith(RedDeerSuite.class)
public class RedDeerTest {

	@Test
	public void redDeerTestExample() {
		
		// Create Java Project
		JavaProjectWizard projectDlg = new JavaProjectWizard();
		projectDlg.open();
		NewJavaProjectWizardPageOne projectPage = new NewJavaProjectWizardPageOne();
		projectPage.setProjectName("testProject");
		projectDlg.finish();
		
		// Create Java class
		NewClassCreationWizard classDlg = new NewClassCreationWizard();
		classDlg.open();
		NewClassWizardPage classPage = new NewClassWizardPage();
		classPage.setName("RedDeerDemo");
		classPage.setPackage("org.reddeer.demo");
		classDlg.finish();
		
		// Edit Java class
		TextEditor textEditor = new TextEditor("RedDeerDemo.java");
		textEditor.setText("Written by RedDeer");
		textEditor.save();
		
		// Check ProblemsView
