Question

I am trying to get the Text from a Composite in Eclipse using the SWTbot API.
I have Composite which contains Main Group and That Main Group Contains Child Groups.
The problem i am facing is i am not able to get the Text Inside the Composite, is there a way in Eclipse to get that Text.
I have attached the Image of my Composite, in which i want to get all the text like name,Min Version etc.
Please help, Its kind of blocker for my project.

Not directly, but you can do it in this way:

public getContainedText(Control c) {
    return getContainedText(c, new ArrayList<String>());
}

private getContainedText(Control c, List<String> strings) {
    if (c instanceof Label) {
        strings.add(((Label) c).getText();
    } else if (c instanceof Text) {
        strings.add(((Text) c).getText();
    }
    // and so on for other control types you want to handle
    // and for text you are interested in.
    // Or as an approximation, use reflection to check if
    // c has getText method and call it, but this will miss
    // List, Combo, etc.

    if (c instanceof Composite) {
        for (Control child : ((Composite) c).getChildren()) {
            getContainedText(child, strings);
        }
    }
}
