I'm using Eclipse Helios 3.6 32-bit.

I would be grateful for any hint.

I would also want to ask if will be source code for tester available one day.

Hi,
I ran into the same problem after upgrading to WindowTester 6. It appears if JUnit PDE launch configuration is configured to run only with the selected plug-ins instead of all plug-ins available in the system. The typical scenario is to select the relevant workspace plug-ins and then click "Add Required Plug-ins" button to add all the dependencies. In this case, due to a bug in WindowTester, a plug-in fragment:
com.windowtester.swt.runtime.linux.gtk.x86 - on Linux
com.windowtester.swt.runtime.win32.win32.x86 - on Windows
is not added automatically and therefore widget references cannot be created as stated in the exception stack:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to create widget reference for instance of org.eclipse.swt.custom.CBanner

Hope this helps someone and that the bug will be fixed.

Thanks,
Alex
