a writing plugin tests question

[ecplug]

I am new to eclipse plugin development and study the book right now. I bought 2nd edition of the book. I have questions about 2.8.2 Create a Plug-in test project. It says: (page 92)
...
. put favoritesTest.jar on the classpath
...

Question: where is favoritesTest.jarfrom?

I have downloaded the example package from your website. Every time I run the plugin test on com.qualityeclipse.favorites.test, I always get:
Could not connect to: : 3909

The error was generated while I am running eclipse 3.3.2 (I retried with fresh copy of eclipse 3.3.2. it is the same error).

I tried the same test with eclipse 3.2. It works.

Is it a bug in eclipse 3.3.2?

Could be. Have you checked the Eclipse Bugzilla?
