About RemoteApplications

NOTE

RemoteApplications is replaced by the new `RemoteSwingLibrary`__ project,
as in most cases RemoteApplications was simply used with SwingLibrary.
**This project is not maintained anymore.**

RemoteApplications is a Robot Framework_ (RF) test library that is used for launching Java applications on a separate JVM and taking other libraries into use on them. This is useful when application does something that cannot be tested with RF when running on the same JVM. Such cases are when System.exit is called by the tested application, when multiple applications running on separate JVMs need to be tested in parallel, or when application is started using Java Web Start.

See Wiki__ for usage instructions and tips.

This projects started as part of robotframework-javatools__ project but is nowadays a separate project.
