You can verify that the Eclipse application is enabled for testing
by checking that the com.rational.test.ft.enabler.wsw_7.0 plugin is added
to the Plugins directory of the Eclipse application.
Note: Some Eclipse
based RCP applications may not have the option. In this case
you can copy the com.rational.test.ft.enabler.wsw_7.0 plugin manually from
the FunctionalTester\EclipseEnabler\Plugins directory from the Functional
Tester install location into the Plugins directory of the RCP application.
After doing this, restart the RCP application with the -clean option.
