Red Deer project aims to provide support for operating Eclipse user interface so that you can focus on writing your business logic instead of tweaking around low-level eclipse specific tasks like "how to open my view" or "how to find out if the server has already started".

Red Deer is divided into several layers:

• SWT layer - capable of finding and operating SWT widgets. At the moment, this layer is based on SWTBot library, however, this might change in the future
• JFace layer - contains classes for operating JFace components, e.g. WizardDialog or PreferencePage
• Workbench layer - contains classes for operating components specific to Eclipse e.g. View
• Eclipse layer - contains classes capable for operating concrete Eclipse parts - PackageExplorer, ServersView etc.

Red Deer is designed to be easily extensible so that you can not only make use of default behaviour, you can extend any class and modify it.
